Digital certificates are data files used to identify and protect online transactions using a trusted third party.
Digital Certificates are a file or electronic password that is used to validate the authenticity of a device or user based on cryptography and public key infrastructure (PKI). They are ‘electronic passwords’ that authenticate the identities of parties to a transaction.
Digital certificates are issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) which is the third party. The CA strengthens the security protection by providing an additional third-party verification. The CA does this by validating the identity of the certificate holder and electronically signing the certificate to confirm that the certificate is not forged or altered.
