The PKI application security supportive platform is able to simplify the development and transformation of the applications,therefore when the application softwares are developed,we do not need to consider for the complex PKI technology and the related processes,including key management and negotiation,encryption and decryption,signature verification,certificate coding and decoding,certificate validation and algorithm calling. We only need to determine the safe strategies and simple API callings,then we can apply the PKI security technologies to the application systems to achieve the confidentiality,integrity,identity validation and non-repudiation of the applications. It provides a comprehensive security supportive services for network applications. To solve the confusions in the construction of the application security,the article describes how to construct a PKI application security supportive platform which can fulfill six functions including the identity authentication.
