OASIS PKI TC Survey on
PKI Obstacles

The OASIS Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Technical Committee aims to address issues related to the successful deployment of digital certificates. We have decided to begin by identifying the most common obstacles to PKI deployment and usage so that they can be addressed.

If you have experience or expertise with PKI, please take a few minutes to complete this brief questionnaire. Your valuable insight will help us make PKI better.

Privacy

To respect your privacy, responses will be kept confidential and only reported in aggregate form. However, your individual response will be used by OASIS PKI TC members and OASIS staff members in tabulating our results. If you choose to provide your email address, we will send you a copy of the survey results and invitations to participate in future surveys conducted by the OASIS PKI TC. Your email address will not be used for any other purposes or disclosed to anyone outside of OASIS.
