SECURING AI SYSTEMS WITH PKI: A TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE
Keywords:
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Artificial Intelligence Security, Hardware Security Modules (HSM), Digital Certificates, Certificate Authority (CA)Abstract
This technical article examines the critical integration of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in artificial intelligence systems, addressing the growing need for robust security frameworks in AI deployments. With the global PKI market projected to reach $9.8 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 19.6%, the article provides comprehensive analysis of implementation strategies, performance metrics, and industry-specific applications. Through detailed examination of digital certificates, hardware security modules, and certificate authorities, the research reveals significant performance improvements, including 99.97% reduction in unauthorized access and 65.2% reduction in false positives within financial services. The implementation of PKI in AI systems demonstrates remarkable efficiency gains, with model verification speeds of 250ms for models under 500MB and encryption throughput of 5.2 GB/s in secure training pipelines. Hardware-accelerated encryption processing achieves mean transaction encryption overhead of 3.2ms and key derivation time of 1.8ms. The article presents empirical evidence of PKI's effectiveness in securing AI operations, with particular emphasis on model protection, secure training pipelines, and API security metrics, while maintaining high performance with 99.99% system availability and supporting up to 150,000 concurrent connections.
