Invisible Defenders:
How Certification Authorities Keep the Internet Safe

What if there were no Digital Certificates from Certification Authorities?

For websites, the proliferation of fake sites makes it difficult for companies to prove that they are genuine, and users cannot always distinguish which sites are authentic from those that are not.
Reservation apps and e-commerce sites may become unusable, leading to an increase in cybercrimes such as fraud and misconduct.

Certification authorities provide proof of "authenticity."

In an online world where copies and counterfeits of websites, devices, and PDF documents can be easily made, proof of "authenticity" is crucial. "Electronic certificates" from certification authorities enable owners (such as companies or individuals) to prove their authenticity. Users can verify this authenticity. This mutual but often unconscious certification of "authenticity" is widely prevalent in the online world and used routinely, contributing to a secure online environment.

Electronic certificates serve not only as identification but also play a role in data encryption.

Data transmitted via websites and mobile apps is encrypted, providing security.
This prevents interception of credit card information and ensures it cannot be decoded even if intercepted.
