Thank you ,
I was thinking about the possiblities of Man in the Middle Attack,
hence i asked the question " can we have one public key and two private
keys". So if the CA's private key is compromised then it can lead to
Man in the Middle Attack and any other scenario as far a TLS is concerned.

Hi ALL,

It is not a built-in feature. Which I think is your question.
Note that *in general* the terms "public key" and "private key" are
just labels. The math does not make the distinction, they are just "pairs".
From that standpoint, your question might as well be:
"Can I have one private key and two public keys?"
The world of mathematics is a very large one - I will not even speculate
if you can find a relationship that produces "triplets" rather than "pairs".
But what you are talking (asking) about may require a lot of research.
Perhaps a better approach:
What is it that you are trying to achieve that spurred your first question?
Mike
Thanks and regards
