Reader Reviews
The author seems to have "bought" into Public Key Infrastructure completely. Many chapters have a simliar formula: 1. Explain background on the compliance issue or standard 2. Then explain why PKI is so great and solves a majority of the problems with the particular issue being discussed. This leaves a bit to be desired in some cases as the compliance-heavy discussions really move past PKI and into extremely detailed market compliance issues. This book will be useful for individuals looking for information having to do with Financial, e-Government, and Health Care compliance issues but not necessarily with PKI implementations for Enterprise organizations.
