PKI Member Section Launches Survey to Measure Cost of
Implementation
The OASIS PKI Member Section is pleased to announces the
third in a
series of international surveys designed to study real-world
Public-Key
Infrastructure (PKI) deployments. PKI creates a trustworthy
networking
environment through public-key encryption and digital
signature
services. This new survey focuses on financial benefits and
attempts to
measure the relative costs of different PKI implementations.
The Member
Section encourages all vendors and implementers of PKI
projects to
participate in this critical survey that will influence the
future
direction of the OASIS PKI work. The
survey will be completed within 60 days. An analysis of the
results will
be published upon completion.
