Answer: D
The registration authority manages the certificate life
cycle, including certificate directory maintenance and
certificate revocation list (CRL) maintenance and
publication. The certificate authority attests, as a trusted
provider of the public/private key pairs, to the
authenticity of the owner to whom a public/private key pair
has been given. The digital certificate is composed of a
public key together with identifying information about the
owner of the public key. It associates a public key with an
individual's identity. Certificates are e-documents
digitally signed by a trusted entity containing information
on individuals. The process entails the sender digitally
signing a document with the digital certificate attached
issued by a trusted entity where the receiver relies on the
public key that is included in the digital certificate to
authenticate the message. The certification practice
statement is the governance process for CA operations.
