X.509 Certificate Forgery Attack
A X.509 certificate forgery attack happens when a bad person creates a fake certificate and tricks a system into thinking it is real. The certificate is used to verify the identity of something or someone on the internet, like a website or person logging into a computer system.
When a bad person creates a fake certificate, they can trick the system into thinking they are someone or something they are not. This can lead to bad things happening, like stealing information or taking control of a computer system.
To prevent this, it is important to make sure the certificates being used are real and have not been tampered with. This can be done by checking the website or system’s digital signature and making sure it matches the real one.
