Introduction to X.509v3 certification
X.509v3 is a standard for public key infrastructure (PKI) to manage digital certificates and public key encryption.
The X.509v3 standard specifies a format for public-key certificates or digital certificates.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) relies on public key certificates to work.
X.509v3 certificates
A X.509v3 or digital certificate is an electronic document used to prove ownership of a public key. It contains information about the key's
identity, information about the key's owner, and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's content as correct.
Certificate authority (CA)
The entity that verifies the contents of the digital certificate and signs it indicating that the certificate is valid and correct is called the
Certificate Authority (CA).
Certificate signing requests (CSR)
In an X.509v3 system, an entity that wants a signed certificate or a digital certificate requests one through a Certificate Signing Request
(CSR).
How certificates are requested
The following enumeration describes the generic steps that are involved in issuing a digital certificate:
