Class 2 certificates authenticate your identity; provide content/software integrity and assured encryption standards to maximize security. These certificates are applicable to personal and commercial use in environments requiring obligatory identity proof. This class of certificates involves either a Registration Authority (RA) or a Sub-CA organization. These are neutral third-party validation authorities designated by e-Mudhra that verify the information submitted by the applicant with respect to identity and authenticity and, contingent to all requirements being met, issue certificates.

In such a situation, you need to revoke this certificate and apply for a new one by providing the modified details.
