Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 32

Which of the following acts as a verifier for the certificate authority?

Answer options

• A. Registration authority
• B. Certificate authority
• C. Directory management system
• D. Certificate Management system

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Registration Authority (RA) is responsible for verifying the identities of entities requesting digital certificates, thus acting as a verifier for the Certificate Authority (CA). The Certificate Authority (CA) issues the certificates but does not validate requests directly, while the Directory Management System and Certificate Management System serve different roles in managing certificates and directories.
