- 4. Secure Socket Layer SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization detail. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites.

It is the digital equivalent of the shrink-wrap or hologram seal used in the real world to authenticate software and assure the user it is genuine and actually comes from the software publisher that it claims.

- 8. Client Certificate A client digital certificate or client certificate is basically a file, usually protected with a password and loaded unto a client application . A client certificate would typically contain pertinent information like a digital signature, expiration date, name of client, name of CA (Certificate Authority), revocation status, SSL/TLS version number, serial number, and possibly more. At the start of a SSL or TLS session, the server may require the client application to submit a client certificate for authentication. Upon receiving the certificate, the server would then use it to identify the certificate's source and determine whether the client should be allowed access. Actually, popular Web browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer can readily support client certificates.
