Hi Alex,

In my opinion one of the best crypto book in this area is "Handbook of
Applied Cryptography" by A. Menezes P. van Oorschot and S. Vanstone. For
books related strictly to PKI technology I recommend you for the beginning
"Understanding Public-Key Infrastructure: Concepts, Standards, and
Deployment Considerations" by Carlisle Adams and Steve Loyd published in
2001 by Macmillan Technical Publishing.

Hope to help you.

With Best Regards,

Hello list,

I would really appreciate if someone would recommend to me some books that
contain information related to the following:
PKI, digital signatures and Certificate authorities. I'm interested in a
functional approach rather than a highly detailed description of these
technologies. I know that there's a plethora of choices from the big
publishers but i appreciate more an opinion from an information security
professional rather than an editor's review.

Thanks in advance.
