Explanation

PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is a framework that manages digital certificates and public/private key pairs to enable secure communications. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a direct implementation of PKI - it relies on digital certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs) to authenticate servers and establish encrypted sessions using asymmetric key cryptography. The other options are not PKI implementations: 3DES is a symmetric block cipher with no certificate infrastructure, Kerberos is a ticket-based authentication protocol using shared symmetric keys, and SHA-1 is a one-way cryptographic hash function used for data integrity, not key management.
