This PKI Note provides general information about PKI policy, the role that policy plays in a PKI and how that policy applies to both traditional and PKI-enabled business environments. It also addresses the documentation required to support a PKI policy, what is specified in a PKI policy, how a PKI policy can be managed, and outlines some high level issues regarding PKI policy. It is not intended to provide a detailed technical discussion of policy issues in PKI. (These may be found in the references listed on the last page.) The content of and approach to forming PKI policy is an evolving discipline, and there is much ongoing debate about it, especially as large PKI-based trust infrastructures begin to emerge. As a result, this paper is a positioning document rather then a definitive statement for policy makers.
