X.509. In cryptography, X.509 is an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard defining the format of public key certificates. [1] X.509 certificates are used in many Internet protocols, including TLS/SSL, which is the basis for HTTPS, [2] the secure protocol for browsing the web. They are also used in offline applications, like ...
Public key certificate. In cryptography, a public key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the validity of a public key. [1] [2] The certificate includes the public key and information about it, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the ...
A type certificate (TC) is issued to signify the airworthiness of the approved design or "type" of an aircraft to be manufactured. The TC is issued by a regulatory authority, and once issued, the design cannot be changed unless at least part of the process for certification is repeated to cover the changes. The TC reflects a determination made ...
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 authority. In cryptography, a certificate authority or certification authority ( CA) is an entity that stores, signs, and issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate. This allows others (relying parties) to rely upon signatures or on assertions ...
PKCS #7 files may be stored both as raw DER format or as PEM format. PEM format is the same as DER format but wrapped inside Base64 encoding and sandwiched in between ‑‑‑‑‑BEGIN PKCS7‑‑‑‑‑ and ‑‑‑‑‑END PKCS7‑‑‑‑‑. Windows uses the .p7b file name extension [6] for both these encodings.
See RFC 7292. Defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates, protected with a password-based symmetric key. PFX is a predecessor to PKCS #12. This container format can contain multiple embedded objects, such as multiple certificates. Usually protected/encrypted with a password.
Subject Alternative Name. An example of a Subject Alternative Name section for domain names owned by the Wikimedia Foundation. Subject Alternative Name ( SAN) is an extension to X.509 that allows various values to be associated with a security certificate using a subjectAltName field. [1] These values are called Subject Alternative Names (SANs).
