Ugh, these X.509 questions are the worst. I'm just going to guess C and hope for the best. At least it's multiple choice, right? Could be worse, could be one of those 'select all that apply' nightmares.

Yeah, I agree. It's definitely important to validate the subject using the SubjectKeyldentifier.

I think C is a good guess. It's all about that hash value of the subject's public key.

Ah, the age-old question of SubjectKeyIdentifier. I'm going to go with C as well. It just makes the most sense to me. Although, I do love a good 'decrypt the private key' joke, so B had me chuckling a bit.

I'm going with C. The hash of the subject's public key seems the most logical purpose for this extension. It's a way to uniquely identify the certificate holder.

B) This extension contains a hash of the subject's This allows a user to decrypt the subject's private key using the publisheed public key and recalulate the hash value of the private key on the certificate to look for a match. If the calculation matches the SubjectKeyldentifier value, then the subject can be validated.

I'm not sure about that. I think B makes more sense. The hash of the subject's private key would be more secure for identification purposes.

I was leaning towards B, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Can't the SubjectKeyIdentifier also be used to validate the subject's identity? This stuff can get so confusing sometimes.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I think the answer is C, but I'm not 100% sure. The SubjectKeyIdentifier is supposed to contain a hash of the subject's public key, right?

I agree with you, Gerardo. This allows a user to validate the subject by matching the hash value of the public key.
