PKI Pitfalls


Notes:

If someone manages to grab your private key (e.g. By getting access to your hard drive), they still have to guess / brute force the passphrase. So it better be good!

Key litter is very common, because people don't know what they're doing when they start using PKI. Always create a revocation certificate, otherwise you are bound to find yourself in the unpleasant situation of being unable to de-activate a key you no longer wish to use!
