In cryptography, a public-key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the valid attribution of a public key to the identity of its holder. The certificate includes the public key and information about it, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's contents (called the issuer).
