Yes, but do some reading on how public key cryptography works, ssl and pgp have a ton of documentation on the net. The majority of my knowledge about pki stems from a lot of recent reading about ssl, and no implementation experience, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt I guess. There are a lot of variables, one big one would be who is going to be reading the document, and how are they going to decrypt and verify that they have the correct public key (certificate authoritys). Public key decryption implies client software of some kind (otherwise there would be no need for a pki solution i guess), which would need to be installed. I'd suggest at least looking into a PGP solution though if it fits though.

The poorly worded question just shows how little I know about PKI. To sign a document or email, etc. there must be some type of electronic file to sign. So I guess my question is can have user (intranet only) fill out a CF form and then create a electronic version of it on the users PC so that the PKI software can then sign it? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 2:30 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: PKI > > > PKI to my knowledge stands for public key infrastructure and it is just an > overall blanket term like Web Services.
