Conclusions
With this article I have completed the discussion on implementing and configuring your own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
As I stated several times, a PKI is an essential technology for enhancing the security of your organization as long as you know how to use it. Therefore, be sure before implementing your PKI that you know what it is, how it is used, how to implement and configure it and above all have a management strategy in place.
