A Certificate Authority (CA) is an organization trusted to issue and sign digital certificates. These certificates are used to establish trust between parties, such as web servers and browsers, through the SSL/TLS protocol.

When a server presents a certificate during an SSL handshake, the browser verifies the certificate's validity by checking if the CA is trusted. If the CA is recognized by the browser's list of trusted CAs, the connection remains secure.

How Does It Work?

1. Certificate Issuance: A user or organization requests a certificate from a CA.
2. Validation: The CA verifies the request to ensure the applicant owns the domain and controls the server.
3. Signing: The CA issues the certificate and signs it with their own public key, attesting to its validity.
