Root CA Certificate
Root CA Certificate
The Root CA (Certificate Authority) is a self-signed certificate that serves as the foundation of trust for the API’s secure communication. It is used to sign all other certificates in the certificate hierarchy, including merchant certificates.
What is the Root CA?
A Root CA is a self-signed certificate that acts as the ultimate trust anchor in the certificate chain. Being self-signed means it is issued and signed by itself, without relying on any external certificate authority.
The Root CA is responsible for:
- Signing the certificates issued to merchants and the API server.
- Verifying the authenticity and integrity of communications between the client and server.
