Exam CISSP-ISSAP topic 1 question 54 discussion

Key escrow involves storing copies of encryption keys with a trusted third party, such as a certificate authority. In this case, if the organization wants to allow the certificate authority access to encrypted data and enable them to create digital signatures on behalf of users, key escrow would provide a mechanism for securely sharing the private key corresponding to each user's public key used for encryption. By having access to these private keys stored in an escrow system maintained by the CA, they could perform actions on behalf of those users while ensuring secure authorization and integrity of cryptographic operations.
