+A certificate is a digital document that certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
+The certificate is signed by a certificate authority (CA) that is trusted by the parties who trust the certificate.
+The certificate authority is responsible for verifying the identity of the certificate holder and signing the certificate.
