When accessing encrypted, signed, or timestamped information, the trustworthiness of this information is validated, in part, by using the CA's public verification key to authenticate the CA's signature. Centralized trust Refers to a PKI system where users do not have to make trust decisions. Rather, through the capabilities of a managed PKI, the organization controls who is considered trustworthy. This makes it easier for users and more secure for the organization. A certificate is a secure electronic identity conforming to the X.509 standard.
Certificates typically contain a user's name and public key.
The date after which a user's certificate should no longer be trusted. The certificate expiry date is contained within the certificate. The process of issuing a new certificate using the same public key from the previous certificate. Certificate renewal is used by some vendors who issue short lifetime certificates so that they can charge for each additional certificate issued. It offers no security value and is equivalent to buying a new safe while using the old combination.
