ABSTRACT
What kind of performance should you expect from a PKI? What will a PKI expect of you? Learn the answers to these questions (and more) in this chapter.
In other words, this chapter drills a little deeper by looking into performance expectations for a certificate authority (CA) and what a CA will expect of you with regard to a PKI. The later part of the chapter looks at some commercial CA outsourcing solutions to help you focus your search for a custom PKI. Let us begin with what you should expect from a CA.
