Intermediate Certificates
In addition to root certificate verification, AsyncOS supports the use of
intermediate certificate verification. Intermediate certificates are certificates
issued by a trusted root certificate authority which are then used to create
additional certificates - effectively creating a chained line of trust. For example, a
certificate may be issued by godaddy.com who, in turn, is granted the rights to
issue certificates by a trusted root certificate authority. The certificate issued by
godaddy.com must be validated against godaddy.com’s private key as well as the
trusted root certificate authority’s private key.
