Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 251

Which function is performed by certificate authorities but is a limitation of registration authorities?

Answer options

• A. CRL publishing
• B. certificate re-enrollment
• C. verifying user identity
• D. accepts enrollment requests

Correct answer: A

Certificate authorities are responsible for publishing Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), which is essential for maintaining the integrity of certificate validation processes. Registration authorities focus on accepting enrollment requests and verifying user identity but do not handle CRL publishing, making this function exclusive to certificate authorities.
