CA (Certificate
Authority)
A trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used
to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs. The role of the CA in this
process is to guarantee that the entity granting the unique certificate is, in fact,

requesting entity to confirm a claimed identity. CAs are a critical component in
data security and electronic commerce because they guarantee that the two parties
exchanging information are really who they claim to be.

first 25 bits of 206.13.1.48.
clean
An action that consists of deleting unrepairable virus infections and repairing
repairable virus infections.
Conduit
