2. Digital signature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

   A digital signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of the message to attach a code that acts as a signature. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is one of many examples of a signing algorithm.

3. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

   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 ...

4. Public key certificate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 digital signature of an ...

5. Certificate signing request - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_signing_request

   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 ...

6. Public key infrastructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure

   Public key infrastructure. A public key infrastructure ( PKI) is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. The purpose of a PKI is to facilitate the secure electronic transfer of information for a range of network ...

7. Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm

   The Digital Signature Algorithm ( DSA) is a public-key cryptosystem and Federal Information Processing Standard for digital signatures, based on the mathematical concept of modular exponentiation and the discrete logarithm problem. In a public-key cryptosystem, two keys are generated: data can only be encrypted with the public key and encrypted ...
