Dina Kozlov

Trust on the Internet is underpinned by the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). PKI grants servers the ability to securely serve websites by issuing digital certificates, providing the foundation for encrypted and authentic communication.Certificates make HTTPS encryption possible by using the public key in the certificate to verify server identity. HTTPS…
