Digital Certificates Digital certificates are a form of electronic "keys" that confirm the identity of an individual or company. Keys are numbers or strings of characters known only to the sender and/or recipient. A digital certificate authenticates the digital certificate owner by providing a digital signature that attaches to email sent by the owner of the digital certificate. A digital certificate is issued by a Certification Authority (CA) and contains the following information: ■ Owner's public key ■ Owner's name ■ Expiration date of the digital certificate ■ Serial number of the digital certificate ■ Name of the CA that issued the digital certificate ■ Digital signature of the CA that issued the digital certificate HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide www.hp.com 5
