What is a Digital Certificate anyway?
Digital Certificates, also called Digital ID's, are the electronic counterparts to driver licenses, passports or membership cards. A Digital Certificate can be presented electronically to prove your identity or your right to access information or services online. Digital Certificates are used not only to identify people, but also to identify Web sites (crucial to secure e-business) and software that is being sent over the Web. Digital Certificates bring you TRUST and SECURITY when you are communicating or doing business on the Net.
