How Certificates Work<br />
9<br />
X.509 certificates are a security technology that assists networked computers<br />
in determining whether to trust each other.<br />
• A single, centralized certificate authority is established. Typically, this is<br />
either an enterprise’s IT department or a commercial certificate authority.<br />
• Each computer on the network is configured to trust the central certificate<br />
authority.<br />
• Each server on the network has a public certificate that identifies it.<br />
• The certificate authority signs the public certificates of those servers that<br />
clients should trust.<br />
