DIGICERT ET-PRCA-PRCA-EM1153-SF-DJ-Y-DEPA-OF Private Intermediate CA Subscription

Create an issuing tier within a private public key infrastructure hierarchy. A private intermediate certificate authority sits beneath a root CA and can serve as the layer that issues certificates within that hierarchy. This role separates the root authority from routine certificate issuance and supports a structured chain of trust. DIGICERT ET-PRCA-PRCA-EM1153-SF-DJ-Y-DEPA-OF is a subscription for a DigiCert Private Intermediate CA. It applies to certificate authority infrastructure rather than to a single server, user, device, or public-facing certificate. The subscription category makes it appropriate for environments that require an identified private CA component as part of their PKI architecture. An intermediate CA differs from an endpoint certificate because it occupies an authority position in the certificate chain. It also differs from a root CA by operating below the trust anchor. Use this subscription when the required component is specifically a private intermediate certificate authority, allowing the issuing function to be represented as its own tier within the organization’s certificate hierarchy.
