What are good resources (other than Apple) to understand certificates, code signing, provisioning and related subjects?


I suffer from the complete and utter failure to grasp the concepts of code signing, provisioning, and all related subjects to distributing iOS apps. This is despite the fact that I have been developing in Xcode for 2 years and have successfully launched 2 apps in the App Store - I just don't get it.

I have tried to read through Apple's documentation, but either I am too obtuse or the documentation is not good enough to give me any meaningful understanding of the process.

I am asking for some alternative blog posts, websites, articles, infographics, charts, diagrams, anything that has helped others get a better understanding of these crucial concepts.

Posts I have read on SO seem to treat the symptoms, not the problem.
