  "definition": "1. The entity in a public-key infrastructure (PKI) that is responsible for issuing certificates and exacting compliance with a PKI policy.\n\n2. An entity authorized to create, sign, issue, and revoke public key certificates.\n\n3. A trusted entity that issues and revokes public key certificates.\n\n4. Operations performed in defeating cryptographic protection without an initial knowledge of the key employed in providing the protection.\n\n5. 1. Operations performed to defeat cryptographic protection without an initial knowledge of the key employed in providing the protection.\n\n6. 2. The study of mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic techniques and information system security. This includes the process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the implementation of an algorithm or in the algorithm itself.\n\n7. The study of mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic techniques and information system security. This includes the process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the implementation of an algorithm or of the algorithm itself.\n\n8. 1. Operations performed to defeat cryptographic protection without an initial knowledge of the key employed in providing the protection. 2. The study of mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic techniques and information-system security. This includes the process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the implementation of an algorithm or in the algorithm itself.\n\n9. The study of mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic techniques and information system security. This includes the process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the implementation of an algorithm or in the algorithm itself.",
