PKI

Key Responsibilities:

1. PKI Design and Implementation:

• Design and implement a scalable and secure PKI architecture to meet the organization's cryptographic needs.
• Select and configure PKI software, hardware, and tools to ensure high availability and disaster recovery.

2. Certificate Management:

• Develop and implement certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation policies.
• Manage certificate lifecycles, including certificate enrollment, validation, and revocation.

3. Key Management:

• Design and implement secure key management systems for encryption keys, digital signatures, and other cryptographic materials.
• Ensure proper key storage, backup, and recovery procedures.

4. Security Audits and Compliance:

• Conduct regular security audits to ensure PKI compliance with industry standards (e.g., NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA).
• Implement security measures to protect against certificate misuse, tampering, and unauthorized access.

5. Collaboration and Communication:

• Work closely with cross-functional teams (IT, Security, Development) to ensure PKI integration and support.
• Communicate technical information and PKI best practices to stakeholders and team members.

6. Continuous Improvement:

• Stay up-to-date with emerging PKI technologies, standards, and best practices.
• Identify areas for improvement and implement process enhancements to optimize PKI operations.

Requirements:

1. Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Assurance, or a related field.
2. Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in PKI design, implementation, and management.
• 2+ years of experience in cryptography, network security, or a related field.

3. Skills:

• In-depth knowledge of PKI technologies (e.g., X.509, SSL/TLS, OCSP).
• Strong understanding of cryptography (e.g., public-key algorithms, digital signatures).
• Experience with PKI software (e.g., OpenSSL, OpenCA).
• Familiarity with cloud-based PKI solutions (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud).

4. Certifications:

• CISSP, CISM, or equivalent security certifications.
• PKI-specific certifications (e.g., PKEA, PKI-C).
