Which type of digital certificate allows an organization to secure all subdomains of a domain with a single certificate?
Self-signed certificate
Extended Validation certificate
Root certificate
Wildcard certificate
A wildcard certificate allows an organization to secure a domain and all of its subdomains with a single certificate. This is achieved by using an asterisk (*) in the domain name portion of the certificate, representing all possible subdomains. Self-signed certificates are generated by the owner and are not trusted by default by browsers and operating systems. Extended Validation (EV) certificates provide higher levels of trust through a rigorous authentication process but do not inherently support multiple subdomains. Root certificates are used to sign other certificates in a certificate hierarchy but are not used to secure specific domains or subdomains.
