What is a digital certificate?

As well as providing certainty about the identity of the owner, certificates offer the possibility of encryption. Encryption and integrity are key prerequisites for secure internet communication. There are many ways to encrypt and secure files. However, in practice, the public and private key method has proved the most reliable. This method uses two keys, a public and a private key. The sender encrypts the messages using the recipient’s public key. To render the message legible again, the recipient decrypts it using his private key. This happens automatically for communication with GTS. Put simply, a certificate ensures that through a combination of a user name and a password, you can log in on secure parts of the GTS website.
