A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of elements and procedures needed to manage digital certificates. A PKI must guarantee the reliability of its services, assuring the timeliness of its responses and the continuity of the service despite of the growth in the number of users and the presence of hardware or software failures. Avoiding duplication of public keys due to intentional or involuntary errors is mandatory in a PKI; hence, the verification of public keys uniqueness is a fundamental task. In this paper, we propose a model of a PKI deploying uniqueness verification based on autonomous decentralised systems (ADS) concepts, namely online expandability, online maintenance and fault tolerance. There are two main contributions of this paper; application of ADS concept in a PKI model and a software implementation of ADS architecture.
