Microsoft Windows Server 2003 PKI and Certificate Security (Pro - One-Offs)

Capitalize on the built-in security services in Windows Server 2003―and deliver your own robust, public key infrastructure (PKI) based solutions at a fraction of the cost and time. This in-depth reference cuts straight to the details of designing and implementing certificate-based security solutions for PKI-enabled applications. Written by Brian Komar, a well-known network security and PKI expert, along with members of the Microsoft PKI Team, this guide describes real-world solutions and best practices for wireless networking, smart card authentication, VPNs, security-enhanced e-mail, Web SSL, EFS, and code-signing applications. Get the inside information and guidance you need to avoid common design and implementation mistakes, help minimize risk, and optimize security administration.

Discover how to:

• Strengthen PKI design with policy documents―security policies, certificate policies, and Certificate Practice Statements (CPS)
