A Certificate Authority (CA) is a trusted entity that signs digital certificates, enabling users to verify their authenticity. Rather than storing every individual certificate for each server (which would be impractical due to the sheer volume and frequent renewals), users can store a limited set of root certificates to authenticate server certificates as needed.
