文摘The expansibility of PKI is expected to have the features that when the amount of user exceeds the system capacity, the users’ requirement can still be met by simply expanding the number of PKI entities and management levels, and this expansion should be achieved smoothly from the original system. The upward, downward, and horizontal expansions of PKI are discussed in this paper. A path discovery method is suggested to reduce the effect of PKI expansion to the end entities, so as to enhance the availbility of PKI services.
