Certificate management involves several key steps:
Issuance: A Certificate Authority (CA) issues digital certificates to verify the identity of devices or users. Distribution: Certificates are distributed to the relevant parties and installed on devices or systems. Validation: The authenticity of the certificates is verified through a process called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Renewal: Certificates have a limited lifespan and need to be renewed periodically to maintain security. Revocation: If a certificate is compromised, it needs to be revoked to prevent misuse.
