Security Certificates

A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital
signatures. One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other
device. Or, the device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature
proving its ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:
• Information about the owner of the certificate
• The certificate serial number and expiration date
• The name and digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate
• A public key
• A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
