What is a Certification Authority and who appoints them?
A Certification Authority is a trusted third party that verifies the identity of an applicant registering for a digital certificate. Once a Certification Authority is satisfied as to the authenticity of an applicant’s identity, it issues that person a digital certificate binding his or her identity to a public key. In case of SHAREKHAN, the certifying authority is Safe Scrypt. The Controller of Certifying Authorities has appointed Safe Scrypt as the first Certifying Authority in India. Top 08.
