Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Private End-Entity Certificate?
A Private End-Entity Certificate is a digital certificate used to identify and authenticate devices, servers, or applications within a private network. It is issued by a private Certificate Authority (CA) and is not trusted by public browsers by default.
Who typically uses Private End-Entity Certificates?
IT departments in organizations of all sizes use these certificates to secure internal communications, authenticate devices connecting to their network, and protect sensitive internal data. This is common in environments with private servers, internal applications, or IoT devices.
