Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

PKI and Digital Services

Namibia’s National Public Key Infrastructure (NPKI) provides a trusted foundation for secure digital communication and electronic transactions. It combines technologies, policies and procedures for managing digital certificates and encryption keys, enabling individuals, businesses and public institutions to verify identities and conduct trusted transactions in the digital environment.

The NPKI supports the development of secure e-Government, e-Commerce and other digital services by strengthening identity verification, authentication and the protection of electronic transactions. As Namibia’s national trust anchor, CRAN operates the Root Certification Authority and oversees the national digital trust framework.
