Digital authentication is simply an ID card on the Internet. Due to the particularity of the Internet, there are many frauds in the Internet, and the use of digital authentication can better solve this problem. Let's take a closer look at it.

To communicate on the Internet, because everyone is hiding behind the computer, it can only be the IP address of the computer, and the IP address of the computer can only identify the machine, but not the person who operates the machine. The solution to this problem is digital authentication.

Digital authentication is based on the asymmetric encryption algorithm. Let's first look at the asymmetric encryption algorithm. The asymmetric encryption algorithm creates a pair of keys, called public keys and private keys, respectively. The public key and the private key are uniquely paired, and after the private key is used for encryption, the public key must be used for decryption. Because the keys used for encryption and decryption are different, this algorithm is called asymmetric encryption.

Since the public key and the private key are paired, the reverse can be understood this way. If an encrypted data can be decrypted using a public key, then the encrypted data must be encrypted by the private key corresponding to the public key. If we can bind this private key to a person, then the public key can represent the individual.

So the CA agency came into being. The CA institution is an authoritative third-party organization that binds the private key to the personal identity.

After an individual has generated a public-private key pair, the public key and personally identifiable information are sent to the CA organization. The CA agency will verify the identity of the applicant to ensure that the identity information is not incorrect. A digital certificate is then issued with the public key and personal identification information. This digital certificate can be identified as an ID card on the network because it is bundled with public key and personal information.

Users use digital certificates to communicate with each other on the Internet, because their identities have been identified by CA institutions, so as long as they use digital certificates for signature verification, they can really identify the true identities of both sides of the communication. At the same time, digital certificates can also have real legal effect.

SSL certificate securely encrypts the website, which can effectively prevent hijacking, prevent your website from being maliciously implanted with advertisements, prevent tampering and monitoring from leaking users' passwords, and optimize the SEO ranking of search engines with SSL certificates.
