Digital Certificates

Digital certificates are electronic documents used to verify the identity of individuals, organizations, or devices in online communications. They work like a digital version of a passport or ID card, ensuring that the party you're communicating with is who they claim to be. Issued by trusted authorities known as Certificate Authorities (CAs), digital certificates contain the entity's public key and other identifying information. They play a crucial role in establishing secure connections, such as those used in online banking or shopping, by enabling encryption and ensuring data integrity during transmission.
