By checking the SPKAC signature and a random challenge string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous SPKAC to be used in a "replay attack".</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man1/ca.html">ca(1)</a></p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
