Verify
the validity of any certificate that is received from a business partner
by checking the chain of trust of such a certificate back to the certificate
authority (CA) that ultimately signed it. If you trust the CA, then
you can trust that certificate. Alternatively, validity of a certificate
can be verified when it was securely guarded during transfer. Failure
to verify a certificate's validity in one of these ways might open
the door to a Man-in-the-Middle
attack.
