Digital certificates enable secure authentication of users, devices, and systems and reduce reliance on purely password-based methods. The private key associated with the certificate serves as cryptographic proof of the respective digital identity.
Certificates can be used, for example, for Windows users and computers, mobile devices, network devices, or IoT systems. In combination with systems such as Active Directory, RADIUS, or Network Access Control, they can support secure access processes for Wi-Fi, VPN, and other corporate resources.
