Expand description
The standard defining the format of public key certificates.
An X509 certificate binds an identity to a public key, and is either
signed by a certificate authority (CA) or self-signed. An entity that gets
a hold of a certificate can both verify your identity (via a CA) and encrypt
data with the included public key. X509 certificates are used in many
Internet protocols, including SSL/TLS, which is the basis for HTTPS,
the secure protocol for browsing the web.
