X509sertifikaattinsa

X509sertifikaattinsa is a Finnish term that translates to "X.509 certificate" in English. An X.509 certificate is a digital document that uses the X.509 public key infrastructure (PKI) standard to verify the ownership of a public key. It acts as a digital identity for individuals, organizations, or devices. These certificates are widely used in various applications, including securing websites with HTTPS, enabling secure email (S/MIME), and authenticating users and devices in networks. The certificate contains the public key, information about the owner, and a digital signature from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). The CA's signature assures the recipient that the public key indeed belongs to the claimed owner and has not been tampered with. When a system encounters an X.509 certificate, it checks the CA's signature to establish trust. This trust mechanism is fundamental to secure online communication and transactions.
