1. to provide validation of certificate requests: A CA is responsible for verifying the identity of an entity before issuing a certificate. This includes verifying the entity's identity, such as by checking government-issued identification or business registration documents.
2. to issue a CA-signed Identity certificates: After validating the entity's identity, the CA issues the certificate, which is signed by the CA's private key. This certificate can be used to authenticate the identity of the entity, establish trust and secure communication.

I feel like importing the root CA certificate is more about implementation, not really a role of the CA itself.

I'm a bit confused; I thought the CA also handled domain validation certificates, but that might be a different process.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think issuing CA signed Identity certificates is definitely one of the answers.

I think one of the roles is to provide validation of certificate requests, but I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

I've reviewed this topic recently, so I feel good about this. The CA validates requests and issues signed certificates, and it also needs to distribute the root CA certificate to all the components that will be using it.

Okay, let's see. The CA validates certificate requests and issues signed certificates, that much I remember. I think the other role has to do with distributing the root CA certificate, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know a CA is involved in certificate management, but I'm not sure I can recall all the specific roles. I'll have to think this through carefully.
