  2. Root certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_certificate

    In cryptography and computer security, a root certificate is a public key certificate that identifies a root certificate authority (CA). [1] Root certificates are self-signed (and it is possible for a certificate to have multiple trust paths, say if the certificate was issued by a root that was cross-signed) and form the basis of an X.509-based ...

  3. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

    A root CA certificate may be the base to issue multiple intermediate CA certificates with varying validation requirements. In addition to commercial CAs, some non-profits issue publicly-trusted digital certificates without charge, for example Let's Encrypt.

  4. Offline root certificate authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offline_Root_Certificate...

    Therefore, each CA (root or intermediate) is only responsible for tracking the revocation of certificates it alone has issued. Consider the scenario where a root CA issues certificates to three intermediate CAs: A, B, and C: The root CA has issued a total of three certificates. The newly created intermediate CAs then issue their own ...

  5. X.509 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509

    In the X.509 system, there are two types of certificates. The first is a CA certificate. The second is an end-entity certificate. A CA certificate can issue other certificates. The top level, self-signed CA certificate is sometimes called the Root CA certificate. Other CA certificates are called intermediate CA or subordinate CA certificates.

  6. Self-signed certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate

    The trust issues of an entity accepting a new self-signed certificate are similar to the issues of an entity trusting the addition of a new CA certificate. The parties in a self-signed PKI must establish trust with each other (using procedures outside the PKI), and confirm the accurate transfer of public keys e.g. compare the certificate's ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Certificate Transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency

    The main advantage with Certificate Transparency is the ability for cyber security teams to defend companies and organisations by monitoring for suspicious domains registering certificates. The new certificates for these suspicious domains may have similar names to other legitimate domains and are designed to be used to support malicious ...

  9. DNS Certification Authority Authorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Certification...

    A series of incorrectly issued certificates from 2001 onwards [1] [2] damaged trust in publicly trusted certificate authorities, [3] and accelerated work on various security mechanisms, including Certificate Transparency to track misissuance, HTTP Public Key Pinning and DANE to block misissued certificates on the client side, and CAA to block misissuance on the certificate authority side.
