X.509 certificates are a security technology that assists networked computers
in determining whether to trust each other.
• A single, centralized certificate authority is established. Typically, this is
either an enterprise's IT department or a commercial certificate authority.
• Each computer on the network is configured to trust the central certificate
authority.
• Each server on the network has a public certificate that identifies it.
