Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In digital certificate authentication, the supplicant (the party requesting access) performs a calculation or encryption operation using their own private key. This is to prove their identity to the verifier (the party granting access) and authenticate the digital certificate presented. The verifier will then use the public key associated with the supplicant's digital certificate to decrypt and verify the calculation or signature performed by the supplicant. Therefore, the correct choice is A - the supplicant's private key.
