A Certifying Authority revokes the Digital Signature Certificate of Kavya Exports Pvt Ltd. The certificate specifies two repositories for publication of notices. What must the Certifying Authority do under the Information Technology Act, 2000?
The Certifying Authority must publish the notice of revocation in all the repositories specified in the certificate. The Act requires publication in the specified repository, and where several are specified, notices go into every one of them, leaving no discretion to choose.
- APublish the notice of revocation in the repository of its own choice among the two
- BPublish the notice of revocation in all the specified repositoriesCorrect
- CPublish the notice only in the official gazette
- DPublish the notice in one repository only if the subscriber requests it
Explanation
Section 39(1) requires publication of the notice of suspension or revocation in the repository specified in the certificate, and section 39(2) says that where more than one repository is specified, the notice must be published in all of them. Choosing one repository would breach this.
