    Study Notes

    1. There are different ways to distribute public keys, such as public announcement, public directory, public-key authority, and public-key certificates.
    2. A trusted organization is responsible for maintaining and distributing the public directory.
    3. Secure and authenticated communication is mandatory in distributing public keys.
    4. X.509 defines a framework for authentication services by the X.500 directory to its users.
    5. X.509 recommends RSA but does not dictate a specific hash algorithm.
    6. Each X.509 certificate contains a user's public key signed with the private key of a trusted certification authority.
    7. The format of an X.509 certificate includes various elements such as version, serial number, signature algorithm identifier, issuer name, and subject name.
    8. User certificates generated by a CA are unforgeable and can be placed in a directory without special protection.
    9. PKI is defined by NIST and has requirements such as verifying the certificate's owner, origin, and currency.
    10. PKI components include end entity, CA, RA, repository, and replying party.
