Mastering Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Implementation and Management



Course Overview

This comprehensive course is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) implementation and management. Through a combination of theoretical foundations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and manage a PKI infrastructure.



Course Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental concepts of PKI and its components
  • Learn how to design and implement a PKI infrastructure
  • Understand the different types of certificates and their uses
  • Learn how to manage a PKI infrastructure, including certificate issuance, revocation, and renewal
  • Understand the security considerations and best practices for PKI implementation and management
  • Gain hands-on experience with PKI tools and technologies


Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

  • Overview of PKI and its history
  • Understanding the components of PKI: certificates, keys, and certificate authorities
  • The role of PKI in modern security infrastructure
  • PKI use cases: secure email, web authentication, and more

Module 2: PKI Fundamentals

  • Cryptography basics: symmetric and asymmetric encryption
  • Understanding digital signatures and hash functions
  • Certificate formats: X.509, PEM, DER
  • Certificate contents: subject, issuer, validity period, and more

Module 3: Certificate Authorities (CAs) and Registration Authorities (RAs)

  • Understanding the role of CAs and RAs in PKI
  • CA types: root, intermediate, and issuing CAs
  • CA hierarchy and certificate chaining
  • RA functions: identity verification, certificate issuance, and revocation

Module 4: Certificate Types and Uses

  • Understanding different certificate types: SSL/TLS, code signing, email encryption
  • Certificate extensions: key usage, extended key usage, and subject alternative names
  • Wildcard certificates and multi-domain certificates
  • Certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and online certificate status protocol (OCSP)

Module 5: PKI Implementation

  • Designing a PKI infrastructure: CA hierarchy, certificate profiles, and more
  • Implementing a CA: software and hardware options
  • Certificate issuance and management: manual and automated processes
  • PKI integration with existing infrastructure: LDAP, Active Directory, and more

Module 6: PKI Management

  • Certificate lifecycle management: issuance, revocation, and renewal
  • Certificate revocation: CRLs, OCSP, and delta CRLs
  • CA key management: key generation, storage, and rotation
  • PKI monitoring and auditing: logging, reporting, and compliance

Module 7: PKI Security Considerations

  • Understanding PKI threats: certificate impersonation, CA compromise, and more
  • Best practices for PKI security: secure CA implementation, certificate validation, and more
  • PKI compliance: regulatory requirements and industry standards
  • PKI risk management: risk assessment, mitigation, and remediation

Module 8: Hands-on PKI Exercises

  • Setting up a test CA: software and configuration
  • Issuing and managing certificates: manual and automated processes
  • Configuring certificate validation: CRLs, OCSP, and more
  • Troubleshooting PKI issues: common problems and solutions

Module 9: Advanced PKI Topics

  • Understanding elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and its role in PKI
  • Quantum-resistant cryptography and its implications for PKI
  • PKI and cloud services: cloud-based CA, certificate management, and more
  • PKI and IoT: device authentication, secure communication, and more

Module 10: Course Conclusion and Final Project

  • Review of key concepts and takeaways
  • Final project: designing and implementing a PKI infrastructure
  • Certification: participants receive a certificate upon completion issued by The Art of Service


Course Features

  • Interactive and engaging: video lessons, hands-on exercises, and interactive simulations
  • Comprehensive and up-to-date: covering the latest PKI technologies and best practices
  • Personalized learning: flexible pacing and personalized feedback
  • Expert instruction: experienced instructors with real-world PKI experience
  • Certification: participants receive a certificate upon completion issued by The Art of Service
  • Lifetime access: access to course materials and updates for a lifetime
  • Mobile-accessible: course materials accessible on desktop, tablet, or mobile device
  • Community-driven: discussion forums and community support
Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained a deep understanding of PKI implementation and management, and will be well-equipped to design, implement, and manage a PKI infrastructure. Participants will receive a certificate upon completion issued by The Art of Service.
