The second phase of public key infrastructure (PKI) key/certificate life-cycle management is the issued phase, where the certificate authority (CA) issues a digital certificate to the requester after verifying their identity and public key. The certificate contains the public key, the identity of the owner, the validity period, the serial number, and the digital signature of the CA. The certificate is then published in a repository or directory for others to access and validate.
