The application of 3rd party certification programme in Malaysia

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Certification Authority (CA) is a trusted third-party organization that issues digital certificates used to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs.It contains your name, a serial number, expiration dates, a copy of the certificate holder's public key used for encrypting messages and digital signatures and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Digital certificates can be kept in registries so that authenticating users can look up other users' public keys.

The role of the CA in this process is to guarantee that the individual granted the unique certificate is, in fact, who he or she claims to be. CAs are a critical component in data security and e-commerce because they guarantee that the two parties exchanging information are really who they claim to be.
