There are many parts to the infrastruture:
* interoperability standards ([X509], [OpenPGP], [LDAP], etc.) so that different products can work together
* software (for KeyServer~s, TimeStampServer~s, [RobotCA]s, crypto-aware MailClient~s such as [Mutt], [PINE], EnigMail etc.)
-* the servers themselves
-* actual content (the PublicKey~s and the WebOfTrust's signatures)
+* the servers running the software
+* actual content created and exchnaged by users and servers
(the PublicKey~s and the WebOfTrust's signatures)
* social structure to support the software and content ([KeySigningParties|KeySigningParty], etc.), which is very often symbiotic with other social structures, often including [LUG]s.
The security of the PublicKeyInfrastructure is not uniform and for many of the players issues such as ease of use, price and reliability are much more important.
