The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual.<br \/>\nIn a typical public key infrastructure (PKI) scheme, the signature will be of a certificate authority (CA). In a web of trust scheme such as PGP or GPG, the signature is of either the user (a self-signed certificate) or other users (&#8220;endorsements&#8221;) by getting people to sign each other keys. In either case, the signatures on a certificate are attestations by the certificate signer that the identity information and the public key belong together. RFC 2828 defines the certification authority (CA) as:<br \/>\nAn entity that issues digital certificates (especially X.509 certificates) and vouches for the binding between the data items in a certificate.<br \/>\nAn authority trusted by one or more users to create and assign certificates. Optionally, the certification authority may create the user&#8217;s keys.<br \/>\nX509 Certificate users depend on the validity of information provided by a certificate. Thus, a CA should be someone that certificate users trust, and usually holds an official position created and granted power by a government, a corporation, or some other organization. A CA is responsible for managing the life cycle of certificates and, depending on the type of certificate and the CPS that applies, may be responsible for the life cycle of key pairs associated with the certificates<br \/>\nSource: SHIREY, Robert W., RFC2828: Internet Security Glossary, may 2000. and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_key_certificate\" title=\"External link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_key_certificate<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following binds a subject name to a public key value?
