Trusted Root Certificate Authorities

Trusted Root Certificate Authorities (CAs) are organizations that verify the identity of websites and other entities on the internet. They issue digital certificates that serve as proof of legitimacy. When you visit a secure website (indicated by "https://"), your browser checks the site's certificate against a list of trusted CAs. If it matches, your connection is considered secure. Essentially, these CAs act like a trusted notary, ensuring that you’re communicating with the rightful entity and not an imposter, thereby enhancing security and trust when navigating online.
