CICO (Certificate Issuer and Certificate Owner)

CICO (Certificate Issuer and Certificate Owner) refers to the relationship in digital security where the Certificate Issuer is a trusted authority that issues digital certificates, verifying a person's or organization's identity. The Certificate Owner is the individual or entity that owns and uses the certificate to prove their identity online. These certificates are essential for secure communications, such as encrypting data or authenticating websites. Essentially, the issuer vouches for the owner’s identity, enabling secure connections and trustworthy digital interactions.
