Offline Root?
The name "Offline Root" comes from the concept of an offline root certificate in computer Public Key Infrastructure security. An offline root certificate is a trusted authority that is kept offline to protect it from compromise. To most people this entiy is invisible, but it is critical to the security of many systems. We chose this name to remind everyone about the imporance of doing things the right way.
