The protocol commonly used with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide secure remote access is the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.
SSH is a cryptographic network protocol that enables secure communication between two networked devices. It provides authentication, encryption, and data integrity, ensuring that remote access sessions are protected from eavesdropping, tampering, and unauthorized access.
When used in conjunction with PKI, SSH utilizes digital certificates and public-private key pairs to establish a secure connection. The PKI infrastructure issues and manages the digital certificates used for authentication and key exchange.
The SSH protocol, together with PKI, allows users to securely access remote systems, transfer files, and execute commands over an insecure network, such as the internet. It is widely used for remote administration, remote command execution, and secure file transfers in various operating systems and network environments.
