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 ...
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is an Internet protocol used for obtaining the revocation status of an X.509 digital certificate. [2] It is described in RFC 6960 and is on the Internet standards track.
The role of root certificate as in the chain of trust.. In cryptography and computer security, a root certificate is a public key certificate that identifies a root certificate authority (CA). [1]
Let's Encrypt developers planned to generate an ECDSA root key back in 2015, [44] but then pushed back the plan to early 2016, then to 2019, and finally to 2020. On September 3, 2020, Let’s Encrypt issued six new certificates: one new ECDSA root named "ISRG Root X2", four intermediates, and one cross-sign.

PKCS #10 - Certificate signing request (CSR) PKCS #11 - Cryptographic Token Interface; PKCS #12 - Certificate/Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard; Protocol Notes: SSL 2.0 – SSL 2.0 was deprecated (prohibited) in 2011 by RFC 6176. wolfSSL does not support it. SSL 3.0 – SSL 3.0 was deprecated (prohibited) in 2015 by RFC 7568.
Self-contained messages with protection independent of transfer mechanism – as opposed to related protocols EST and SCEP, this supports end-to-end security.; Full certificate life-cycle support: an end entity can utilize CMP to obtain certificates from a CA, request updates for them, and also get them revoked.
Trusted certificates can be used to create secure connections to a server via the Internet. A certificate is essential in order to circumvent a malicious party which happens to be on the route to a target server which acts as if it were the target. Such a scenario is commonly referred to as a man-in-the-middle attack.
