The Internet of Things drives Public Key Infrastructure (or PKI) initiatives. While the prominent use cases for PKI are still focused on cross-site encrypted communication protocols such as TLS/SSL, securing VPNs and private networks, and digital signature, the IoT, alongside the current regulatory landscape, is posing new challenges to cybersecurity. and thus opening up new opportunities for the application of PKI technologies.According to the 2022 Global PKI and IoT Trend Study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute with the sponsorship of Entrust, there is growing recognition that PKI is a vital technology to help authenticate IoT devices.
