The only complete guide to designing,
implementing, and supporting state-of-the-art
certificate-based identity solutions with PKI
Layered approach is designed to help readers with
widely diverse backgrounds quickly learn what they need
to know
Covers the entire PKI project lifecycle, making
complex PKI architectures simple to understand and
deploy
Brings together theory and practice, including
on-the-ground implementers' knowledge, insights, best
practices, design choices, and troubleshooting details
PKI Uncovered brings together
all the techniques IT and security professionals need to
apply PKI in any environment, no matter how complex or
sophisticated. At the same time, it will help them gain
a deep understanding of the foundations of
certificate-based identity management. Its layered and
modular approach helps readers quickly get the
information they need to efficiently plan, design,
deploy, manage, or troubleshoot any PKI environment. The
authors begin by presenting the foundations of PKI,
giving readers the theoretical background they need to
understand its mechanisms. Next, they move to high-level
design considerations, guiding readers in making the
choices most suitable for their own environments. The
authors share best practices and experiences drawn from
production customer deployments of all types. They
organize a series of design "modules" into hierarchical
models which are then applied to comprehensive
solutions. Readers will be introduced to the use of PKI
in multiple environments, including Cisco router-based
DMVPN, ASA, and 802.1X. The authors also cover recent
innovations such as Cisco GET VPN. Throughout,
troubleshooting sections help ensure smooth deployments
and give readers an even deeper "under-the-hood"
understanding of their implementations.
