Digital Certificates are electronic documents used to verify the identity of individuals, organisations, or devices. Serving as digital ID cards, digital certificates are issued by trusted authorities to prove a website or person is genuinely who they claim to be online.
For example, when you see the padlock icon (🔒) in your browser, that’s a digital certificate vouching for the website’s identity, ensuring you’re not sharing sensitive information with impostors disguised as your bank or favourite shopping site.
To sum up, digital certificates are used to secure online transactions, encrypt data, and ensure the authenticity of digital communications.
