Introduction to Digital Certificates
Digital Certificates provide a means of proving your identity in electronic transactions, much like a driver license or a passport does in face-to-face interactions. With a Digital Certificate, you can assure friends, business associates, and online services that the electronic information they receive from you are authentic.
This document introduces Digital Certificates and answers questions you might have about how Digital Certificates are used. For information about the cryptographic technologies used in Digital Certificates, see: Introduction to Public Key Cryptography.
