2. HTTP Public Key Pinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Public_Key_Pinning

   A website operator can choose to either pin the root certificate public key of a particular root certificate authority, allowing only that certificate authority (and all intermediate authorities signed by its key) to issue valid certificates for the website's domain, and/or to pin the key(s) of one or more intermediate issuing certificates, or ...

3. 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.

4. Certification path validation algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certification_path...

   The certification path validation algorithm is the algorithm which verifies that a given certificate path is valid under a given public key infrastructure (PKI). A path starts with the Subject certificate and proceeds through a number of intermediate certificates up to a trusted root certificate, typically issued by a trusted certificate ...

5. 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 ...

6. Public key infrastructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure

   Currently the majority of web browsers are shipped with pre-installed intermediate certificates issued and signed by a certificate authority, by public keys certified by so-called root certificates. This means browsers need to carry a large number of different certificate providers, increasing the risk of a key compromise.

7. Chain of trust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_trust

   The roles of root certificate, intermediate certificate and end-entity certificate as in the chain of trust. In computer security, a chain of trust is established by validating each component of hardware and software from the end entity up to the root certificate. It is intended to ensure that only trusted software and hardware can be used ...
