Description: Public Key Infrastructure Awareness (PKI) refers to the understanding and knowledge that users and stakeholders have about how PKI works and its importance in digital security. PKI is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software, and procedures necessary to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates. These certificates are essential for establishing digital identities and securing communication in online environments. PKI awareness implies that users not only recognize the existence of this infrastructure but also understand its functioning and its role in protecting data and the authenticity of transactions. This includes understanding concepts such as public key cryptography, authentication, data integrity, and non-repudiation. Adequate PKI awareness is crucial for fostering trust in digital interactions, as it enables users to make informed decisions about the security of their online communications and transactions.
