CA
A certificate authority (CA) is a business entity that is recognized in the
IT industry for meeting high standards of reliable screening, identification, and
other important security criteria. Examples of CAs include Thawte and VeriSign.
After the CA receives your CSR, they review and verify the information the
CSR contains. If the applicant meets the CA’s security standards, the CA issues
a certificate to the applicant that uniquely identifies that applicant for
transactions over networks and on the Internet.
