Clave pública
de un usuario, junto con alguna otra información adicional, que se hace
infalsificable cifrándola con la clave privada de la Autoridad de Certificación
que las emite (ISO/IEC 9594-8, ITU-T X.509).
A menudo se
denomina simplemente Certificado.
[Ribagorda:1997]
The public key for a user
(or device) and a name for the user (or device), together with some other
information, rendered unforgeable by the digital signature of the certification
authority that issued the certificate, encoded in the format defined in the
ISO/ITU-T X.509 standard. Also known as X.509 Certificate. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
The public key for a user
(or device) and a name for the user (or device), together with some other
information, rendered un-forgeable by the digital signature of the
certification authority that issued the certificate, encoded in the format
defined in the ISO/ITU-T X.509 standard. [NIST-SP800-57:2007]
A public key certificate
whose digital signature may be verified by the public key contained within the
certificate. The signature on a selfsigned certificate protects the integrity
of the data, but does not guarantee authenticity of the information. The trust
of self-signed certificates is based on the secure procedures used to distribute
them. [NIST-SP800-57:2007]
An attribute certificate
where the issuer and the subject are the same Attribute Authority. An Attribute
Authority might use a self-issued AC, for example, to publish policy
information. [X.509:2005]
A public-key certificate
where the issuer and the subject are the same CA. A CA might use self-issued
certificates, for example, during a key rollover operation to provide trust
from the old key to the new key. [X.509:2005]
A special case of
self-issued certificates where the private key used by the CA to sign the
certificate corresponds to the public key that is certified within the
certificate. A CA might use a self-signed certificate, for example, to advertise
their public key or other information about their operations. [X.509:2005]
