|
|
This document aims to enumerate and clarify alternative terms that have been
|
||
|
|
used for the same concept in the OpenPGP space, as well as to document
|
||
|
|
terminology specific to OpenPGP CA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Authentication
|
||
|
|
- Bridge: Two instances of OpenPGP CA mark each other as (scoped) trusted
|
||
|
|
introducers, which means that users in both organizations see each other
|
||
|
|
as authenticated
|
||
|
|
- Certification ("Signature" on a certificate)
|
||
|
|
- Key / OpenPGP Key (Certificate)
|
||
|
|
- Key creation workflow: centralized/decentralized
|
||
|
|
- OpenPGP
|
||
|
|
- Revocation certificate
|
||
|
|
- Trust signature ("tsig"), a speficic type of certification for a
|
||
|
|
certificate, which marks that key as a "trusted introducer" (i.e. the
|
||
|
|
party that creates the trust signature signals that they will trust
|
||
|
|
certifications that the "trusted introducer" makes on certificates)
