Using Third-Party Certificate Signers
In the real world, I know who you are because I recognize your face, your voice, and your mannerisms.
On the Internet, I cannot see these things and must rely on a trusted third party to vouch for
your identity. To ensure that a certificate is immutable, it has to be signed by a trusted third party
when the certificate is issued and validated every time an end user taking advantage of your secure
site loads it.
