Tutorial: An introduction to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

How does PKI work - without going into technical nitty-gritty. In this short movie tutorial, I hope to convey the essence of PKI security. There is much more that can be said, and I try to keep things light (I make a few shortcuts), yet this little clip should help a newbie to acquire a basic understanding of Public Key Infrastructure principles.

Thanks, but i was wondering in the last case,(of amazon) you said amazon has a CA that send out a public key to the user. Is there only one CA in that case, on the drawing you still had the first CA so i was confused if two were in use there. thanks

[MrDagon007]

@CFaulkstlouis Sorry to have confused you. In fact, you have certificates (containing the public keys) of many respectable CAs already in your browser, only in rare instances you'd need to import a CA certificate. Your browses uses these certificates during its communication with e-commerce sites. I hope this clarifies.
