Conceptual framework redefines public-key infrastructure as governance infrastructure, emphasizing key dimensions.
A conceptual framework that treats public-key infrastructure as governance infrastructure rather than a security technology. Five dimensions — trust production, infrastructural power, mediated institutional trust, two-way accountability, and path dependence — each pinned to one load-bearing theorist (Mann, Bodó / Shapiro / Giddens, Scott, Star and Ruhleder, Pierson). The Estonian e-state is the worked case; the framework is portable to any national PKI. Submitted to Halduskultuur — Administrative Culture on 23 May 2026 (submission #419).
