Cryptographic Certificates

Definition

Cryptographic Certificates are digital documents that use cryptography to bind a public key to an identity, such as an individual, organization, or device. They verify the authenticity of a public key, ensuring that communications and transactions are secure and originate from a trusted source. These certificates are fundamental for establishing secure connections and validating digital identities in decentralized systems. They typically contain information about the owner, the issuer, and the public key itself.
