PKI Entities
A certificate authority (CA), issuing the certificates, acts as the server in a PKI using CMP. One of the clients, obtaining their digital certificates by means of this protocol is called end entity (EE). None or any number of registration authorities (RA), can be used to mediate between the EEs and the CA.

Famous quotes containing the word entities:
“Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
[sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
