NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.0 — Question 66

Which of the following conditions must be met in order for a web browser to trust a web server certificate signed by a third-party CA?

Answer options

• A. The public key of the web server certificate must be installed on the browser.
• B. The web-server certificate must be installed on the browser.
• C. The CA certificate that signed the web-server certificate must be installed on the browser.
• D. The private key of the CA certificate that signed the browser certificate must be installed on the browser.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

For a web browser to trust a web server certificate, it needs to have the CA certificate that issued it installed. This allows the browser to verify the authenticity of the web server certificate. The other options are incorrect because the browser does not need the public key or the web server certificate itself installed, nor does it require the private key of the CA certificate.
