  3. Self-signed certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate

    RFC 5280 defines self-signed certificates as "self-issued certificates where the digital signature may be verified by the public key bound into the certificate" [7] whereas a self-issued certificate is a certificate "in which the issuer and subject are the same entity". While in the strict sense the RFC makes this definition only for CA ...

  5. Certificate signing request - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_signing_request

    When using the PKCS #10 format, the request must be self-signed using the applicant's private key, which provides proof-of-possession of the private key but limits the use of this format to keys that can be used for (some form of) signing. The CSR should be accompanied by a proof of origin (i.e., proof of identity of the applicant) that is ...

  6. Root certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_certificate

    A root certificate is the top-most certificate of the tree, the private key which is used to "sign" other certificates. All certificates signed by the root certificate, with the "CA" field set to true, inherit the trustworthiness of the root certificate—a signature by a root certificate is somewhat analogous to "notarizing" identity in the ...

  7. cryptlib - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptlib

    cryptlib is a security toolkit library that allows programmers to incorporate encryption and authentication services to software. It provides a high-level interface so strong security capabilities can be added to an application without needing to know many of the low-level details of encryption or authentication algorithms.

  8. Certificate authority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

    Any site using self-signed certificates acts as its own CA. Commercial banks that issue EMV payment cards are governed by the EMV Certificate Authority, [ 5 ] payment schemes that route payment transactions initiated at Point of Sale Terminals ( POS ) to a Card Issuing Bank to transfer the funds from the card holder's bank account to the ...

  9. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    The message and the MAC tag are then sent to the receiver. The receiver in turn runs the message portion of the transmission through the same MAC algorithm using the same key, producing a second MAC data tag. The receiver then compares the first MAC tag received in the transmission to the second generated MAC tag.
