Certificate Authority

Full Title or Meme

Any computer service that can evaluate and issue certificates to any Entity, either natural or otherwise, with some sort of digital Identifier.

Typically, certificates are issued in compliance with CCITT X509 standards in support of a Public Key Infrastructure.
Efforts started in 2024 are focused on finding other solutions which might mean CCITT X.509 type certification in JSON structure.
Other effort to create various types of Trust Registry are starting to look a lot like a Certificate Authority.
