About Oracle Public Key Infrastructure

Learn about Oracle public key infrastructure (PKI).

Oracle public key infrastructure (PKI) is used by Oracle Enterprise Security Manager, LDAP-enabled Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) authentication, Oracle Database, and Oracle WebLogic Server.

Note:

• Oracle Security Manager is installed only with Oracle Database Client.

• Microsoft Windows does not support an SSL key length of less than 1024 bits any longer. Attempting to use these smaller key lengths with Oracle software on Windows returns an error.

• Oracle Wallets

• Oracle Wallet Manager (OWM)

Oracle Wallets store digital certificates, trust points, and private keys used in public key applications for encryption, decryption, digital signature, and verification.
