The key provided to everyone to encrypt messages for the key holder.

The confidential key used by the owner to decrypt messages.

A certificate issued by a trusted CA that can issue other certificates, creating a chain of trust.

The series of trusted intermediaries between a root CA and the end-entity certificate.
