Explanation:
PKI is a two-key, asymmetric system with four main components: certificate authority (CA),
registration authority (RA), RSA (the encryption algorithm), and digital certificates. In typical public
key infrastructure (PKI) arrangements, a digital signature from a certificate authority (CA) attests
that a particular public key certificate is valid (i.e., contains correct information). Users, or their
software on their behalf, check that the private key used to sign some certificate matches the
public key in the CA’s certificate. Since CA certificates are often signed by other, “higher-ranking,”
CAs, there must necessarily be a highest CA, which provides the ultimate in attestation authority in
that particular PKI scheme.
Localhost is a hostname that means this computer and may be used to access the computer’s
own network services via its loopback network interface. Using the loopback interface bypasses
local network interface hardware. In this case the HTTPS://127.0.01 was used and not
HTTPS//localhost
