Glossary

Terms	Definition
JSON	JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is a lightweight format used for storing and transporting data.
EJBCA	Enterprise Java Beans Certificate Authority.EJBCA covers everything from certificate management, registration and enrollment to certificate validation.
URL	URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a given unique resource on the Web.
URI	URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, and it's the official name for those things you see all the time on the Web that begin ' http: ' or ' mailto: ', for example http://www.w3.org/ , which is the URI for the home page of the World Wide Web consortium
CA	A certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates.
CSR	A certificate signing request (CSR) is one of the first steps towards getting your own SSL/TLS certificate. Generated on the same server you plan to install the certificate on, the CSR contains information (e.g. common name, organization, country) the Certificate Authority (CA) will use to create your certificate
SCEP	Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) is an IETF RFC. This enables network users to request their digital certificate electronically and as simply as possible. Supported by most of the network devices.
EST	The Enrollment over Secure Transport or EST is a cryptographic protocol that describes an X. 509 certificate management protocol targeting public key infrastructure (PKI) clients that need to acquire client certificates and associated certificate authority (CA) certificates. EST is described in RFC 7030
ACME	Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol is a communications protocol for automating the certificate enrollment to the CA and is used to provide the certificate on the requesting entity.
IP	The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables the working of the internet, and essentially establishes the Internet.
CSR - Certificate	A CSR or Certificate Signing request is a block of encoded text that is given to a Certificate Authority when applying for an SSL Certificate. It is usually generated on the server where the certificate will be installed and contains information that will be included in the certificate such as the organization name, common name (domain name), locality, and country.
pfx	A PFX file, also known as PKCS #12, is a single, password-protected certificate archive that contains the entire certificate chain plus the matching private key. Essentially it is everything that any server will need to import a certificate and private key from a single file.
pkcs	PKCS stands for "Public Key Cryptography Standards". These are a group of public-key cryptography standards devised and published by RSA
DNS	DNS, or the Domain Name System, translates human-readable domain names to machine-readable IP addresses.
AWS	Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a secure cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. In simple words AWS allows you to Run web and application servers in the cloud to host dynamic websites.
GCP	Google Cloud Platform (GCP), offered by Google (company), is a suite of cloud computing services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search, Gmail, file storage, and YouTube.
IAM	Identity management, also known as identity and access management, is a framework of policies and technologies for ensuring that the proper people in an enterprise have the appropriate access to technology resources.
ACM	AWS Certificate Manager
CA	A certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates.
UI	User Interface - The user interface (UI) is the point of human-computer interaction and communication in a device. This can include display screens, keyboards, a mouse and the appearance of a desktop. It is also the way through which a user interacts with an application or a website.
ELB	ELB supports the load balancing capabilities critical for you to migrate to AWS. ELB is well positioned to load balance both traditional as well as cloud native
Keyvault	Azure Key Vault is a cloud service for securely storing and accessing secrets. A secret is anything that you want to tightly control access to, such as API keys, passwords, certificates, or cryptographic keys. Key Vault service supports two types of containers: vaults and managed HSM pools.
