Does Your Company Use a PKI Solution?

Posted by Cliff on from the don't-lose-the-master-keyring dept.

punkrokk asks: "I am doing an Independent study of the feasibility of a Microsoft Certificate Services PKI in a distributed company. So far, it appears from my research that MS has the best supported implementation of a X.509 based PKI solution, for the Windows environment. While there are a few major weaknesses in a X.509 Public Key Infrastructure, one of which being Certificate Revocation Lists, using one is better than nothing. You do get a tangible security benefit, in addition to doing switch port authentication, and VPN quarantines. The problem is the cost of implementation is pretty steep, from the planning side. What do you guys do for dual factor authentication? Has anyone had Verisign sign their Certificate Authority? If you have implemented a MS Certificate Service infrastructure, I would appreciate your comments."

      haha valerie. oh boy. okay, so i know dave from UW, he was in one of my physics classes. anyway thats besides the point. so i met valerie once at a party, and this girl is just wild fun when she drinks. the only times i ever spent with her was when a bunch of us would go out drinking (come on, UW knows how to drink! haha). she also gets very fiesty after a couple of shots.. right dave?

      so long story short.. yea they are very nice to grab from behind. only downside is how unbelievably sloppy they are. with all big chested women, this is a problem. she was probably more fun back in high school.. gravity then took its toll. dave i'm happy for you. its strange we meet again on slashdot of all places.
