Abstract: Infrastructure is a term used for a variety of things. The most common Overview contexts for the term in everyday life are roads, water and wastewater, electricity and telecommunication. The basis for an EKI is the network infrastructure. This starts with laying cables into the floors and/or the walls of organization’s buildings or setting up base stations for a wireless network. Today, a medium–sized company building needs several kilometers of cable in order to provide a good network infrastructure for every workplace. Besides the computer network for data communication today there is also still a telephone network for voice communication that forms a separate infrastructure. Although both forms seem to amalgamate in the near future, as current IP telephony and data communication over telephone lines indicate, we will concentrate our considerations on computer networks.
