When accessing any website, in the background and throughout the authentication process there are numerous processes that must be validated and executed not only to access the site but to protect user information and that is where certificates come into play ..

 

A certificate, also called a digital certificate, allows you to authenticate the identity of any element such as a person, organization or website, it is in digital format to facilitate the entire authentication and security validation process, this certificate is made up of:

 

Structure

 

  • The name of the organization.
  • The public key.
  • The name of the certification authority that endorsed the issuance of the certificate.
  • The digital signature that ensures the authenticity of the information in this certificate.

 

 

 

functions
A certificate is useful for actions such as:
