PKI operations

Also known as: certificate lifecycle operations

Day-2 certificate lifecycle: issuance, renewal, revocation, CA hierarchy, and monitoring.

Definition

PKI operations keep certificates trusted and rotated. Failures cause outages; weak algorithms cause long-term risk.

PQC adds larger certs, new OIDs/profiles, and middlebox testing to ordinary PKI ops.
