The aim of this work is to introduce fundamental concepts of public key infrastructure. Basic requirements for communication and related problems are presented. The solution of these problems can be found in cryptography. Different types of cyphers and infrastructures based on assymetric cryptography are described. The infrastructure types involve hierarchical system of certificate authorities and the web of trust. Furthermore, there is a list and description of cryptography software which can be used in the field of public key infrastructre. The main topic of this thesis is the audit of public key infrastructure. Audit can be supported by several available standards, e.g. WebTrust for Certificate Authorities, ETSI TS 101 456, ETSI TS 102 042 and ISO 21188:2006. This paper systematically describes these standards and using statistical methods compares and evaluates their complexity.
