  2. Self-signed certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate

    RFC 5280 defines self-signed certificates as "self-issued certificates where the digital signature may be verified by the public key bound into the certificate" [7] whereas a self-issued certificate is a certificate "in which the issuer and subject are the same entity". While in the strict sense the RFC makes this definition only for CA ...

  3. Certificate signing request - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_signing_request

    In public key infrastructure (PKI) systems, a certificate signing request (CSR or certification request) is a message sent from an applicant to a certificate authority of the public key infrastructure (PKI) in order to apply for a digital identity certificate. The CSR usually contains the public key for which the certificate should be issued ...

  4. OpenSSL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSL

    OpenSSL is a software library for applications that provide secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping, and identify the party at the other end. It is widely used by Internet servers, including the majority of HTTPS websites. OpenSSL contains an open-source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols.

  5. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

    Any site using self-signed certificates acts as its own CA. Commercial banks that issue EMV payment cards are governed by the EMV Certificate Authority, [ 5 ] payment schemes that route payment transactions initiated at Point of Sale Terminals ( POS ) to a Card Issuing Bank to transfer the funds from the card holder's bank account to the ...

  6. Root certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_certificate

    A root certificate is the top-most certificate of the tree, the private key which is used to "sign" other certificates. All certificates signed by the root certificate, with the "CA" field set to true, inherit the trustworthiness of the root certificate—a signature by a root certificate is somewhat analogous to "notarizing" identity in the ...

  7. Public key certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate

    The digital certificate chain of trust starts with a self-signed certificate, called a root certificate, trust anchor, or trust root. A certificate authority self-signs a root certificate to be able to sign other certificates. An intermediate certificate has a similar purpose to the root certificate – its only use is to sign other certificates.

  8. DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication...

    A value of 3 is for what is commonly called domain issued certificate (and DANE-EE). The TLSA record matches the used certificate itself. The used certificate does not need to be signed by other parties. This is useful for self-signed certificates, but also for cases where the validator does not have a list of trusted root certificates.

  9. Trust anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_anchor

    The trust anchor must be in the possession of the trusting party beforehand to make any further certificate path validation possible. Most operating systems provide a built-in list of self-signed root certificates to act as trust anchors for applications.
