Case Study 2: Public Key Infrastructure
Due Week 6 and worth 60 points
Suppose you are the Information Security Director at a small software company. The
organization currently utilizes a Microsoft Server 2012 Active Directory domain administered by
your information security team. Mostly software developers and a relatively small number of
administrative personnel comprise the remainder of the organization. You have convinced
business unit leaders that it would be in the best interest of the company to use a public key
infrastructure (PKI) in order to provide a framework that fosters confidentiality, integrity,
authentication, and nonrepudiation. Email clients, virtual private network (VPN) products, Web
server components, and domain controllers would utilize digital certificates issued by the
certificate authority (CA). Additionally, the company would use digital certificates to sign
software developed by the company in order to demonstrate software authenticity to the
customer.
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
Analyze the fundamentals of PKI, and determine the primary ways in which its features and
functions could benefit your organization and its information security department.
