Digital Certificates Explained - How digital certificates bind owners to their public key

A brief explanation of how digital certificates allow us to verify who we are communicating with by binding an owner to their public key. Digital certificates are an important concept to understand for the CISSP exam, and in this video, I provide the core concepts of what digital certificates are, how they are made, and what they are used for.

[@hmzach9403]

My guy actually explained something in under 10 mins which my teacher couldnt explain in a whole year ong

[@mikeag]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Genuinely stunned that you don't have a ton more subscribers. Seriously, guys, your channel will be one of the big ones. Thank you for the fantastic content.

[@psionicxxx]

I've been searching for hours to find a half-decent explanation of what certification is. Some terms are implicitly skipped, while for the newbies, they are important for comprehensive understanding. They just fail to see it and provide very simple and confusing explanations instead.

[@amyg6182]

I was wondering so too. The explanation is so simplified. Thank you

[@erickulee9183]

Simplifying an explanation is a unique gift that can not be shared. Excellent!!

[@senju2024]

I bookmarked this. This is probably the hardest part for me to wrap my brain around on how digital certificates and public/private keys work. I think I gone through studying this part via books and other videos like 10 times and never truly get a clear understanding...until now. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. I think I finally get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikekorsak373]

Echoing what I have read and heard from SEVERAL to date - you are articulate, and simplify complex concepts, great job!

[@imdadnasir4973]

You are truly remarkable! Understood the entire process end to end what took me months, in a matter of minutes! Fan for life!

[@tech3425]

the best video I came across regarding this topic, thanks now I understand!

[@milesrennick1071]

I don't think I've ever read in the Security+ or CISSP "we don't actually send our public key". In the examples shown it's often the opposite! Very misleading of them. Thanks for the clear explanation.

[@ekambaramsainikhil9301]

[@prawnydagrate]

Studying for an upcoming ICT exam, I was really confused because of how little information my textbook had about digital certificates as a way to protect data. This video cleared up all my confusion. Thank you!

[@destcert]

Glad to hear this video was helpful in your studies. All the best to your exam! We're rooting for you!

[@michaeleconomides4054]

You did a good job of explaining all this. The only minor flaw is that typically a normal everyday user like Alice wouldn't go to a CA to get a certificate, but a business entity (e.g. the bank) would.

[@yy6y6y]

Realy great, Thank you !!

[@jubairaladin5965]

Good video, easy to understand explanation.

[@destcert]

Glad it was helpful!

[@samratshinde3088]

This is one gem of a video, it helped clarify all the doubts with respect to certificates, always struggled with it. Haven't browsed your channel, but would like to know if you could show some technicalities like certificate generation etc etc. Thanks in advance.

[@destcert]

Glad you liked it! We'll check that topic for you

[@andyz1331]

concise and accurate, thank you very much!
