Which of the following is used to certify intermediate authorities in a large PKI deployment?
A.
Root CA
B.
Recovery agent
C.
Root user
D.
Key escrow
Explanation:
The root CA certifies other certification authorities to publish and manage certificates within the
organization.
In a hierarchical trust model, also known as a tree, a root CA at the top provides all of the
information. The intermediate CAs are next in the hierarchy, and they trust only information
provided by the root CA. The root CA also trusts intermediate CAs that are in their level in the
hierarchy and none that aren’t. This arrangement allows a high level of control at all levels of the
hierarchical tree. .
