We all use certificates and certificate authorities every day, so in episode 76 Scott takes a deep dive on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with Linda Ikechuwku of Smallstep Labs.

Linda covers everything you need to know about PKI:

  • What is PKI?
  • What are the major elements of a PKI?
  • What are certificates, and how can you (or should you) use them?
  • DIY your PKI, or no?
  • Active revocation or passive revocation?
