Note sulla crittografia a chiave pubblica note:
The CA issues public key certificates that contain an entity's name, public key, and certain other security credentials. Such credentials typically include the CA name, the CA signature, and the certificate effective dates (From Date, To Date).
The CA uses its private key to encrypt a message, while the public key is used to decrypt it, thus verifying that the message was encrypted by the CA. The CA public key is well known and does not have to be authenticated each time it is accessed. Such CA public keys are stored in wallets.
Il seguente spicca per me:

Spiegare il motivo dell'utilizzo della chiave privata per crittografare e quindi la chiave pubblica da decrittografare. Dalla mia scarsa conoscenza della crittografia a chiave pubblica, ho pensato che la chiave pubblica fosse crittografata e la chiave privata decrittografata.
