A key ring is a file which contains multiple public keys of Certificate Authority (CA).

A Key ring is a file which is necessary for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection over the web. It is securely stored on the server which hosts the website. It contains the public/private key pairs from various Certificate Authorities and the trusted root certificate for the various Certification Authorities. An entity has to send a certificate request to the CA. The CA then returns a signed [Public key certificate|certificate]] to the entity. This certificate received from the CA is also stored in the Key Ring.
