Personal Review: Microsoft Windows Server(TM) 2003 PKI and
Certificate Security (Pro - One-Offs) by Microsoft Corporation
I have to say that this book is simply amazing. I have searched the longest
to clearly understand not just about PKI, but actually how to implement it,
and was always referred to tombs of mathematical theory and such. This
book demystifies PKI infrastructure in clear and concise explanations (but
not overkill though), and has a lot of material on how to practically
implement a variety of PKI architectures that can fit small businesses to
huge enterprise corporations.
Implementing this stuff involves more than simple button clicking. What I
really appreciate is that there are really delves into pre-installation
configuration (CAPolicy.inf) and also post installation (publishing AIA/CDP
to Active Directory either through command line or graphical snap-in). I've
looked at other security books that touch on this topic, but they are
either/both incomplete or sometimes in areas incorrect. This help set me
straight.
The bottom line is that this is indeed the best book on this topic of
implementing PKI infrastructure (certificate authorities, etc.) within
Windows environment.
