The Digital Trust Journey: From Key Generation to Signed Certificate
Carl Mehner
This talk explores the creation process of a digital certificate,
used for identity in protocols such as TLS, a critical element for secure online interactions. After submission to a Certificate Authority (CA) there are still many more steps that are necessary before the certificate is ultimately signed and returned to the requester. In this session we will dive into the processes that go into providing trust with digital certificates on the Internet.
