• Q40 (Role of certificate authorities): Which of the following best explains how a certificate authority is used in protecting data?

I guessed A (A certificate authority certifies the safety of a particular Web site so that users know that it does not contain any viruses.) because I did not know what a certificate authority was. Looking at online resources suggests they instead certify ownership of particular public keys, so D (A certificate authority verifies the authenticity of encryption keys used in secured communications.) is a better answer.

As for everything else, I was confident in my answers and so did not use external resources in the process.

My team graded me a 0.96 on performance during our team teach construction.
