What are Digital Certificates?
A Digital Certificate referred to as a public key certificate, is used to establish a cryptographic link between the owner of a public key and that entity. These are used to exchange public keys that are needed for authentication and encryption.
The certified public key, metadata about the certificate holder, identity information about the public key, and a digital signature of the public key created by the certificate issuer make up a digital certificate.
