Public Key Infrastructure

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a system of rules, procedures, and technology that helps keep information secure. It's like a big lock that has two keys; one key is public and the other is private. When someone wants to send you information, they use the public key to lock it up so only you can open it with your private key. This ensures total security and privacy when sending information over the internet.
