digital certificate
Electronic identity proof
A digital certificate is an electronic document that verifies the identity of a website, organization, or individual online.
Issued by a certificate authority, it contains a public encryption key and confirms that the entity is who it claims to be.
When you see a padlock icon in your browser, a digital certificate is validating the connection: The site's digital certificate had expired, triggering a security warning.
