Certificate
A digital proof used to show that a website or system is genuine
What's it for?
Helps prove that a website, person or system really is who it claims to be.
For example…
A website certificate helps browsers confirm they reached the real company
When a browser visits the company website, its certificate helps prove the site really belongs to that domain before an encrypted connection is established.
Think of it like…
Photo ID badge issued by a trusted authority, not a handwritten name sticker
