Understanding Public Key Certificates and TLS

A public key certificate uses a digital signature to bind a public key to an identity. Non-repudiation refers to proving the authenticity of a signature to prevent its validity from being denied later. Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over the Internet by encrypting data and verifying message integrity.

In cryptography, a public key certificate (also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate) is an electronic document which uses a digital

signature to bind a public key with an identity information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth. The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual.. Non-repudiation refers to a state of affairs where the purported maker of a statement will not be able to successfully challenge the validity of the statement or contract. The term is often seen in a legal setting wherein the authenticity of a signature is being challenged. In such an instance the authenticity is being "repudiated". . Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over the Internet.

TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of

network connections above the Transport Layer, using asymmetric cryptography for privacy and a keyed message authentication code for message reliability. Several versions of the protocols are in widespread use in applications such as web browsing, electronic mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP).
