Key Ceremony

Key Ceremony

At the heart of every certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is at least one Root Key(s) or Root Certificate(s) and usually, at least one Intermediate Root Certificate(s). These Digital Certificates are made from a Public and a Private Key. A Root Key Ceremony is a procedure where a unique pair of Public and Private Root Keys is generated. Depending on the Certificate Policy, the generation of the Root Keys may require notarization, legal representation, witnesses and ‘Key Holders’ to be present. 'Best practice' is to follow the SAS 70 standard for Root Key Ceremonies.

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or ceremony:

    ‘The key is in the window, the key is in the sunlight at the
    window—I have the key—Get married Allen don’t take drugs—the key is in the bars, in the sunlight in the window.
    Love,
    your mother’
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
