PGP versus PKI

Presented at The Last HOPE (2008), July 19, 2008, 6 p.m. (60 minutes).

Both PGP and PKI take advantage of public key technology, but they are fundamentally different in the ways they perform key management. The talk will start with a quick overview of asymmetric cryptography before diving into the details of how and why PGP and PKI are different, what audiences they serve, as well as how to get on the "PKI bandwagon." The discussion will be focused on the key management and trust issues in both technologies.

Presenters:

• Laura Raderman
  Laura Raderman's background is in network and host security, but she's recently been implementing security projects for large enterprises. She's had a GPG key in some form or another since 1998, and a PKI based certificate for the last five years. She's advised industry and federal technical groups about PKI. Laura is the director of security assessments at Gemini Security Solutions.
