A Certificate Signing Request (also known as CSR or certification request) is a message sent from an applicant to a registration authority of the public key infrastructure in order to apply for a digital identity certificate. It usually contains the public key for which the certificate should be issued, identifying information (such as a domain name) and integrity protection (e.g., a digital signature). The most common format for CSRs is the PKCS #10 specification; another is the Signed Public Key and Challenge SPKAC format generated by some web browsers.
Certificate Signing Request
Digital Certificates are electronic credentials that bind the identity of the certificate owner to a pair of electronic encryption keys, (one public and one private), that can be used to encrypt and sign information digitally.
Digital Certificate
A digital certificate bundle is a file that contains root and intermediate certificates.
Digital Certificate Bundle
A Digital Certificate Deployment is the result of deploying a digital certificate in a specific domain and for a specific service on a site.
Digital Certificate Deployment
An SSL certificate is a data file hosted in a website's origin server. SSL certificates make SSL/TLS encryption possible, and they contain the website's public key and the website's identity, along with related information. Devices attempting to communicate with the origin server will reference this file to obtain the public key and verify the server's identity. The private key is kept secret and secure.
