Description
Session Description:
 
Implementing a secure, automated, and scalable public key infrastructure for internal use can be a daunting task, especially if you're experience with PKI is limited to just OpenSSL or Active Directory, or your infrastructure is mostly (or entirely) Linux based. At Distil, I had to go from nothing to a fully functional, in-production PKI in two months with no budget. I'll discuss how I've implemented the scalable, highly-available PKI we now have using freely available open-source tools. We'll cover the project background, PKI architecture, tool selection, and how it was all automated.

Learner Objectives
After completing this session, the learner will:
  • Have a basic understanding of what tools are available to build an internal PKI
  • Understand how the available tools can be used together to build out a PKI at no cost
  • Know what constraints there are on the use of the tools and how to overcome them
  • Learn how to architect a PKI that is scalable, available, and data redundant
