Episode 16 — CSRs, Wildcards, Root of Trust, and Key Escrow (1.3)
This episode covers certificate signing requests, wildcard certificates, root of trust concepts, and key escrow. A certificate signing request is generated when an organization wants a certificate authority to issue a certificate for a public key and identity. Wildcard certificates can secure multiple subdomains but increase impact if the private key is compromised. The root of trust is the trusted starting point for validating a chain, while key escrow stores recovery keys so encrypted data can be accessed when authorized. For the exam, students should balance convenience, recovery, trust, and the risk created when powerful keys are exposed or mishandled.
