Introduction of Digital Signature Certificate :
Digital certificates are the digital equivalent (i.e. electronic format) of physical or paper certificates. Examples of physical certificates are driver s licenses, passports or membership cards. Certificates serve as identity of an individual for a certain purpose, e.g. a driver s license identifies someone who can legally drive in a particular country. Likewise, a digital certificate can be presented electronically to prove your identity or your right to access information or services on the Internet.
