MSCsertifikaatti

MSCsertifikaatti is a digital certificate used to verify the authenticity and integrity of a message, software, or document. It is based on the X.509 standard and is widely used in secure communications and transactions. The certificate contains information about the entity it is issued to, including its public key, the certificate authority (CA) that issued it, and the validity period. The private key corresponding to the public key is kept secret and is used to create a digital signature. When a message or document is signed with the private key, the recipient can use the public key in the certificate to verify that the message or document has not been tampered with and that it indeed comes from the claimed sender. MSCsertifikaatti plays a crucial role in establishing trust in digital environments, such as in secure email, code signing, and secure websites (HTTPS). It is managed and issued by trusted third-party certificate authorities, which are responsible for verifying the identity of the entity before issuing the certificate.
