PKI is a powerful tool to establish trust electronically between entities in an ICT eco system. Basic tools provided by PKI can be extended to provide enhanced trust services such as Trusted Time Stamping, Certificate and Digital Signature Validation. This would be greatly helpful in real life situations where a single organization would come across certificates issued by different CAs. Hence, it would be easy for the organization to have a single point for trust establishment and validation.
