Abstract

To understand the implementation advantages of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) applications, this study identified PKI benefits and examined the effect of PKI benefits on competitive advantage. Four aspects of benefits are identified including cost benefits, time benefits, security benefits, and profit benefits. The CFA and regression analysis are used to check the factor structure and test the hypothetical relationships. The results suggest that the PKI benefits on saving cost, increasing security, and making profit have significant effect on obtaining the competitive advantage of corporate. A market survey is also reported to reveal the status of PKI applications in Taiwan.
