Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Certificates and CAs that bind identities to keys—signature algorithms must become PQC-capable.

Definition

PKI underpins TLS authentication, mTLS, S/MIME, and code signing ecosystems. Quantum risk focuses on signature algorithms on certificates and CRLs/OCSP responses.

Enterprise PKI can often move faster than public Web PKI.
