Overview of Private Certificate Application
Cloud Certificate Manager (CCM) is a private CA and certificate management platform. You can use CCM to set up a complete CA hierarchy and use it to issue and manage private certificates for your organization. It is used to authenticate application identities and encrypt and decrypt data within your organization.
Certificates issued by a private CA are trusted only within your organization, but not the Internet.
For details, see Figure 1 and Table 1.
