A certificate is a cryptographically signed object that associates a public key and an
identity. Certificates also include other information in extensions such as permissions
and comments
"CA" is short for "Certification Authority" - an trusted third party (or internal entity) that
issues, signs, revokes, and manages these digital certificates.
