Certificate Authority
Certificates are issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), such as Verisign, Thawte, Baltimore, and others. These
certificate authorities validate the identity of the individual/entity before issuing the certificate. A Certificate
Authority signs all certificates that it issues with its private key and the CA certificate contains the corresponding
public key. A browser must contain this CA Certificate in its
Trusted Root Library in order to “trust” certificates
signed by the CA's private key. For additional information, please see http://www.cren.net/ca/.
