[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Digital Certificate**, also known as **Public Key Certificates** or **Identity Certificates**, authenticates the Web credentials of the sender and lets the recipient of an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:encryption | Encrypted]] message know that the data is from a trusted source (or a sender who claims to be one). A **Digital Certificate** is issued by a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:ca]].

Digital certificates are used with self-signatures and message encryption.
