The Trusted Root Verifies Data
The term trusted root pertains to a certain certificate authority which has allowed the access of its public encryption keys. This informs you that those keys have been made downloadable into the application that’s SSL-enabled. That SSL-enabled application will run a test to establish the integrity of the data pertaining to the certificate authority in question. The relevant certificate authorities must provide the necessary data in order for an SSL-enabled application to perform the test. While on the subject, a trusted root certificate applies to the copy of a certificate authority’s certificate.
