Modern PKI has evolved as technology has evolved, and it has expanded to fill security needs all around the world, in all types of industries, organizations and governments, as well as in the home. In the end, the role of PKI in emergency rescue beacons is perhaps no less powerful than the fact that every day, PKI ensures that millions of people complete online banking transactions and nobody steals their debit card number. In either case, the importance of that trust cannot be understated. PKI is the perfect marriage between tried-and-true technology and a solution that delivers security and identity to the things people are inventing today and dreaming up tomorrow. Regardless of what comes next, PKI will continue to deliver proven, flexible trust.
