Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private PKI?
A private PKI is a Public Key Infrastructure managed by an organization for its own internal use. Unlike public CAs that issue certificates for the internet, a private CA issues certificates for internal servers, devices, and applications, providing a secure environment within the organization's network.
How does this service differ from public SSL/TLS certificates?
Public SSL/TLS certificates are issued by trusted public Certificate Authorities and are used to secure websites for public access. A private PKI like DigiCert PKIO Private Services Server is for internal use, securing communications and authenticating entities within your organization's private network.
Who typically uses a private PKI solution?
Organizations that need to secure internal applications, manage device identities, enforce strong authentication for employees or systems, or meet specific compliance requirements often use private PKI solutions. This includes companies with significant internal server infrastructure or IoT deployments.
