A Root Certificate Is Required to Decrypt Signatures in a Public Key

Public key cryptography generates two different keys, which are the public key and the private key, and is available from us, here at Digi-Sign to protect your data. The private key is held by the person who generated both keys. The public key is then sent to anyone who wants to send encrypted data to the recipient. The private key is then used to decrypt the data received. When a public key is sent to you, it can contain an encrypted signature which needs to be decrypted which is handled by a trusted root certificate.

Where Do I Get a Root Certificate to Decrypt Signatures in Public Keys?

A root certificate is a vital part of public key cryptography and is common for websites and internet connections which run secure connections. Windows based operating systems will get their root certificates through various Windows updates as the certificates have to be created securely. You do not want to download these certificates off the internet directly because you run the risk of getting a certificate which can be used for malicious purposes.
