What is certificate authority?
A certificate authority is a trusted entity that issues digital certificates that are verifiable small data files that contain identity credentials to help websites, people, and devices represent their authentic online identity. Certificate authorities are a critical part of the Internet's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and they play a major role in Internet operations by issuing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. Web browsers use these certificates to authenticate content sent from web servers.
