Over 99% of all U.S.- based financial networks are secured with a Private Key Infrastructure. This is changing over time, based on the sheer volume of transactions managed daily and the hassles that come with private key management. Private Key-based systems make good sense if your expected user base is less than 500,000 participants.
Public Key Systems are typically cost effective only in large volumes or where the value of data is so high that it is worth the higher costs associated with this type of deployment. What most people don’t realize is that Public Key systems still rely heavily on Private Key encryption for all transmission of data. The Public Key encryption algorithms are only used for non-repudiation and to secure data integrity. Public Key infrastructures as a rule employ every mechanism of data security in a nested and coordinated fashion to insure the highest level of security available today.
