A self-signed certificate, which is also called root certificate, is issued by an entity to itself. In this certificate, the issuer name and subject name are the same.
If an applicant fails to apply for a local certificate from the CA, it can generate a self-signed certificate. The self-signed certificate issuing process is simple.
Huawei devices do not support lifecycle management (such as certificate renewal and revocation) for self-signed certificates.
CA certificate
CA's own certificate. If a PKI system does not have a hierarchical CA structure, the CA certificate is the self-signed certificate. If a PKI system has a hierarchical CA structure, the top CA is the root CA, which owns a self-signed certificate.
