A Certificate Authority (CA) is an entity which issues digital certificates
for use by other parties. These certificates contain a public and private
key pair as described in standard cryptography references. There are
many commercial CAs that charge for their services; however, the
Dominion SX acts as a free CA that generates its own certificates. CA
and certificates are part of highly available security technology that can
be built into browsers and web servers, in particular SSL. Browsers and
Operating Systems come with a pre-installed list of trusted Certification
Authorities, known as the Trusted Root CA store. The Dominion SX
certificates can be added into a browser as Trusted CA.
