Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Private End-Entity Certificate?
A Private End-Entity Certificate is a digital certificate issued by a private Certificate Authority (CA) for use within an organization's internal network. It's used to authenticate devices and encrypt communications for internal applications and services, unlike public certificates used for websites.

How does this differ from a public SSL/TLS certificate?
