Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer:

Registration authority is correct. A registration authority (RA) validates an applicant into the system, making sure they are real, valid, and allowed to use the system. RAs are also known as “subordinate CAs.” 

Incorrect Answers:

CRL, Revocation authority, and Primary authority are incorrect.

The CRL (Certificate Revocation List) is used to track which certificates have problems and which have been revoked.

The remaining terms are not legitimate.
