An Operating System Is Responsible for Validating Certificates Used to Secure

question 5

Multiple Choice

An operating system is responsible for validating certificates used to secure communication. For Windows, Microsoft maintains a database of trusted root certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs) . A root certificate is the original certificate issued by the CA. When a Windows system opens a secure email or visits a secure website and encounters a new digital certificate, it requests Microsoft's trusted root certificate, which is downloaded to the computer. The download happens seamlessly without the user's knowledge unless there's a problem. If Windows cannot obtain the root certificate to validate the email or website, an error is displayed.  
Where do you go in the Windows operating system to view and delete root certificates?
