Leon, "Understanding PKI" by Adams & Lloyd is very comprehensive regarding what it is. "PKI, Implementing and Managing e-Security" I found useful in a more practical manner. I found "Planning for PKI" by Housley and Polk to be too simple, as was PKI by Austin. Very useful was "Digital Certificates" by Feghhi, Feghhi and Williams, in terms of understanding exactly how the certificates are handled by clients and servers. Sort of picks up where the Understanding PKI leaves off. "Rethinking Public Key Infrastructure and Digital Certificates" by Brands is a very interesting take on the problem of PKI and privacy.
By the way, I am of sound mind and find Douglas Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP to be the definitive guide to TCP/IP.
