Digital Certificate

Indusface is the authorized distributor of Entrust Digital Certificates in India

Digital certificates are employed to establish and validate a user's identity on the internet. These can serve for online-authentication by buyers and sellers in online-shops. The most common use of a digital certificate is to verify that a user sending a message is who he or she claims to be, and to provide the receiver with the means to encode a reply.

An individual wishing to send an encrypted message applies for a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA). The CA issues an encrypted digital certificate containing the applicant's public key and a variety of other identification information. The CA makes its own public key readily available through print publicity or perhaps on the Internet. The recipient of an encrypted message uses the CA's public key to decode the digital certificate attached to the message, verifies it as issued by the CA and then obtains the sender's public key and identification information held within the certificate. With this information, the recipient can send an encrypted reply. Indusface provides Digital Certificates issued by Entrust (www.entrust.net).
