2. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

   When the user's web browser receives the public key from www.bank.example it also receives a digital signature of the key (with some more information, in a so-called X.509 certificate). The browser already possesses the public key of the CA and consequently can verify the signature, trust the certificate and the public key in it: since www.bank ...

3. Public key infrastructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure

   An alternative approach to the problem of public authentication of public key information is the web-of-trust scheme, which uses self-signed certificates and third-party attestations of those certificates. The singular term "web of trust" does not imply the existence of a single web of trust, or common point of trust, but rather one of any ...

4. Code signing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_signing

   Many code signing systems will store the public key inside the signature. Some software frameworks and OSs that check the code's signature before executing will allow you to choose to trust that developer from that point on after the first run. An application developer can provide a similar system by including the public keys with the installer.

5. X.509 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509

   [21] [failed verification] Federation problem: Certificate chains that are the result of subordinate CAs, bridge CAs, and cross-signing make validation complex and expensive in terms of processing time. Path validation semantics may be ambiguous. The hierarchy with a third-party trusted party is the only model.

6. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

   In a digital signature system, a sender can use a private key together with a message to create a signature. Anyone with the corresponding public key can verify whether the signature matches the message, but a forger who does not know the private key cannot find any message/signature pair that will pass verification with the public key.

7. Identity-based cryptography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity-based_cryptography

   Identity-based systems have a characteristic problem in operation. Suppose Alice and Bob are users of such a system. Since the information needed to find Alice's public key is completely determined by Alice's ID and the master public key, it is not possible to revoke Alice's credentials and issue new credentials without either (a) changing Alice's ID (usually a phone number or an email address ...
