Hello I am studying for my 70-270 and I am a little confused.
Would someone be so kind as to explain the difference between Trusted Roots CA's and Trusted Publishers. I came across a question that basically stated that a user was trying to access a secure site and got a message stating the digital certificate was not from a trusted site. I automatically thought "obtain a certificate and import". Well I picked the wrong answer only because I didnt read the answer carefully. It had "Import into Trusted Publishers", but it also stated something about CTL which made the cloud in my head even darker. Also any places where I can read more about understanding this whole area would be great. Thanks!
 
Root CA is where you build the Certificate... Publishers can be thought of as distribution servers since you never want your Root CA "online"... where it might be attacked or compromised...
