In th<strong>is</strong> example, separate subordinate CAs have been created for the<br />
accounts and sales departments at the company’s head office. Within<br />
the accounts department, another subordinate CA has been set up to<br />
<strong>is</strong>sue certificates to senior employees who have the authority to<br />
approve budget expenditure. A further subordinate CA has been<br />
created for the Chicago branch of the company, with its own<br />
hierarchical structure.<br />
All the employees within the enterpr<strong>is</strong>e CA hierarchy can<br />
communicate securely with each other, since they share a common<br />
root CA.<br />
