| Abstract | The subject of this thesis is Public Key Infrastructure, PKI, as a Service and its focus is to evaluate the possibility to deploy a Public Key Infrastructure as a Cloud service. This is interesting since more and more organizations are moving their services and infrastructure to the cloud to benefit from the possibilities and advantages of cloud services and avoid problems with having own infrastructures. It is also interesting since the cloud could utilize the distributed architecture of PKI and in this way increase the reliability and availability and decrease the response times for validation of certificates.The problems examined are if it is possible to deploy such service and to what extent the service can be considered secure. The thesis takes on the constructive research method to analyze existing constructs, to form a proposed solution and to envisage and meet issues of the proposed solution. The thesis concludes it is possible to deploy such a service, although, security cannot be fully guaranteed. The trust in the system is dependent on the handling of the private keys and the trust cannot be established without strict and beneficial agreements.The task of this master thesis was performed at PrimeKey Solutions AB in Stockholm, Sweden during the period September through March. PrimeKey is today a leading provider of open source enterprise PKI, with a product called EJBCA licensed under the LGPL. |
