CA/Browser Forum

The CA/Browser Forum is an industry organization that brings together Certificate Authorities (CAs) and web browser companies to set technical and security standards for online certificates. These certificates verify the identity of websites and enable secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS). By establishing best practices and guidelines, the forum helps ensure that internet users can trust the websites they visit, reducing the risk of fraud or data theft. Essentially, it promotes a secure and trustworthy online environment by coordinating efforts between CAs and browser vendors to maintain rigorous security standards for digital certificates.
