[kictanet] Kenya¹s PKI Destined for Failure?

[Dennis Kioko]

Here's a concern raised on an article on PKI on CIO East Africa. Wondering
about the bit on keys being expensive, and how much that is likely to be an
issue here.

KPI is a very expensive security infrastructure to implement and operate.
Most of the early adopters of PKI have abandoned the technology and have
are using other more open, efficient and easier to operate technologies to
secure online transactions. One of the biggest complaint and the source of
failure in most countries has been the lack of uptake by private sector who
fine it expensive to procure and maintain KPI certificates/keys. Kenya may
want to explore this more and see if there are alternatives that could work
better.
