Short for Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, a public-key algorithm for both
encryption and authentication. It was developed by Ronald Rivest, Adi
Shamir, and Leonard Adleman and introduced in 1978.
A key-exchange algorithm for SSL based on the RSA algorithm.
A Java™ term for the carefully defined limits within which Java™
code must operate.
A protocol that allows mutual authentication between a client and
server and the establishment of an authenticated and encrypted
connection. SSL runs above TCP/IP and below HTTP, LDAP, IMAP,
NNTP, and other high-level network protocols.
A feature that tests a Certificate System instance both when the
instance starts up and on-demand.
The process of identifying a server to a client. See also
authentication.
A certificate used to identify a server to a client using the
Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol.
Java™ code that handles a particular kind of interaction with end
entities on behalf of a Certificate System sudsystem. For example,
certificate enrollment, revocation, and key recovery requests are each
handled by separate servlets.
Secure Hash Algorithm, a hash function used by the US government.
A cryptographic algorithm used to create digital signatures. Certificate
System supports the MD5 and
cryptographic algorithm,

A certificate that's public key corresponds to a private key used to
create digital signatures. For example, a Certificate Manager must
have a signing certificate that's public key corresponds to the private
key it uses to sign the certificates it issues.
