About this video
Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #12 is a cryptographic standard that defines a file format commonly used to store and exchange personal identity information, including private keys with their corresponding public key certificates, protected by a password-based symmetric key. The file format is often referred to as a "PFX file" or "PKCS #12 file."
The Security+ exam may include questions related to cryptographic standards and secure key management. Understanding the purpose of PKCS #12, its file format, and its use in securely transporting private keys and certificates is relevant for exam preparation.
