Security Implementation, Presented at PKI Meetings

Deploying PKI can be complex and tricky, but more and more campuses are solving the technical and logistical problems and reporting positive outcomes. This session will feature representatives from three campuses where PKI has been successfully rolled out. They'll tell you how they did it.

One of the first decisions facing campuses that have decided to deploy a PKI is whether to build their PKI in house, with the necessary personnel and infrastructure it entails, or to buy their PKI from a vendor, which can have a seemingly high sticker price. What are the driving factors behind this decision? How do you accurately assess all costs, both short- and long-term? How do you measure the benefits/ROI of a given choice? What signing options should you consider? Come to this session to participate in a discussion with panelists who have made decisions in each of these directions.
