Chain of Trust

In Cryptography, a chain of trust allows to verify that a certificate has been validated by a root certificate.

Chain of trust has the advantages:

  • Assign different keys to different people.
  • Revoke only specific key while keeping others valid.
  • A system does not need to know all they keys issues as they can verify that a given key has been issued by a root key.

Chain of Trust is a concept we implemented in ID PASS Lite.
