StarStarStarStar

Certificate Revocation List (CRL)

StarStarStarStar

A list of digital certificate serial numbers that have been revoked by the issuing CA before their scheduled expiration.

StarStarStarStar

Asymmetric Encryption

StarStarStarStar

Encryption using a pair of keys, where one key encrypts data, and the other key decrypts it.

StarStarStarStar

Digital Signature

StarStarStarStar

A mathematical scheme for verifying the authenticity of digital messages or documents.

Certificate Practice Statement (CPS)

StarStarStarStar

A document that describes in detail how the CA uses and manages the certificates it issues.

StarStarStarStar

Public Key

StarStarStarStar

StarStarStarStar

Certificate Policy (CP)

StarStarStarStar

A document which states the different purposes of certificates and their approved uses within a PKI.

StarStarStarStar

Key Escrow

StarStarStarStar

A process by which keys are held in trust by a third party, allowing encrypted data to be accessed under predefined conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Subject Alternative Name (SAN)

StarStarStarStar

StarStarStarStar

Private Key

StarStarStarStar

The confidential key used by the owner to decrypt messages.

StarStarStarStar

Certificate Authority (CA)

StarStarStarStar

An entity that issues digital certificates, affirming the identity of the certificate holder.

StarStarStarStar

Registration Authority (RA)

StarStarStarStar

An authority in a network that verifies user requests for a digital certificate and tells the CA to issue it.

StarStarStarStar

X.509

StarStarStarStar

A standard format for public key certificates, defining their structure.

StarStarStarStar

Key Pair

StarStarStarStar

A set of two keys used in a PKI, one public and one private, that are mathematically related.

Wildcard Certificate

StarStarStarStar

A public key certificate which can be used with multiple subdomains of a domain.

Public Key Cryptography

StarStarStarStar

A cryptographic system that uses a pair of keys, a public key for encrypting data and a private key for decrypting data.

StarStarStarStar

Intermediate Certificate

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Encryption

StarStarStarStar

The process of converting information into a secure format that hides its true meaning.

StarStarStarStar

Root Certificate

StarStarStarStar

A self-signed certificate that identifies the Root CA.

StarStarStarStar

Hash Function

StarStarStarStar

A function that converts an input (or 'message') into a fixed-size string of bytes, typically for security purposes.

StarStarStarStar

Chain of Trust

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

SSL/TLS

StarStarStarStar

Protocols for establishing authenticated and encrypted links between networked computers.

StarStarStarStar

Digital Certificate

StarStarStarStar

An electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key.
