hitelesítésigazolás

Hitelesítésigazolás is a term used to describe the process of verifying the authenticity of digital certificates, which are used to establish the identity and trustworthiness of online communication parties. This process is essential in ensuring the secure exchange of sensitive information over the internet.

In the context of public key infrastructure (PKI), hitelesítésigazolás is used to validate the digital certificates issued by certificate authorities (CAs). During this process, the certificate's public key, issuer's identity, and other relevant details are verified to ensure that the certificate has not been tampered with or compromised in any way.

Hitelesítésigazolás typically involves checking the certificate's serial number, expiration date, and revocation status against a trusted repository of revoked certificates. If the certificate is found to be valid, the verifier can be assured that the certificate holder's identity and public key are genuine.

This process is crucial in various online applications, including secure web browsing, secure email communication, and online transactions. By verifying the authenticity of digital certificates, organizations can minimize the risk of identity spoofing, data tampering, and other types of cyber threats.

In Hungary, the term hitelesítésigazolás is commonly used in the context of electronic identification and trust services, as defined by the European Union's Electronic Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS) regulation. In other countries, similar processes are referred to by various names, but the fundamental principle of verifying digital certificate authenticity remains the same.
