  Certificate (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
An identity certificate is a guarantee by a principal that a public key is that of another principal.
For example, different types of certificates, such as X.509 certificates and PGP certificates, share general certificate functionality (the need to encode and decode certificates) and some types of information, such as a public key, the principal whose key it is, and the guarantor guaranteeing that the public key is that of the specified principal.
Returns the guarantor of the certificate, that is, the principal guaranteeing that the public key associated with this certificate is that of the principal associated with this certificate.

 Establishing Identity Without Certification Authorities
The thesis of this paper is that a traditional identity certificate is neither necessary nor sufficient for this purpose.
To the person verifying the identity of an old friend, that other person's identity is a body of memories: an internal representation of the distinguishing character or personality of an entity, as the verifier has come to know that entity through the relationship between them.
Certificates are needed but they are needed only to grant authority to a signature key to spend money from a given account.

 DIGITAL IDENTITY CERTIFICATE digital
HKU digital certificates (HKU-Cert) HKU digital certificates (HKU-Cert) employ cryptographically strong 1024-bit RSA public and private encryption keys, which are practically impossible for anyone, within the life-time of a private key, to crack the private key from the corresponding public key.
The traditional PKI infrastructure talks about issuing certificates that are signed by a certification authority which attest to the: validity of the public key preferably checking validity of the private key possibly some identity information of the entity that the certificate is issued to.
A "recipient" of the certificate desiring to rely upon a digital signature created by the subscriber named in the certificate (whereupon the recipient becomes a "relying party") can use the public key listed in the certificate to verify that the digital signature was created with the corresponding private key.

 External Certificate Authority
Identity certificates may be used for non-repudiation purposes, i.e., transactions that have been signed by an identity certificate may be legally linked to the owner of that certificate.
When encrypting e-mail messages, the sender uses the certificate of the recipient(s), and the recipient decrypts the message using his or her private key.
This certificate is intended for all applications operating in environments appropriate for medium assurance but which require a higher degree of assurance and technical non-repudiation based on the relying party’s assessment.

 John F. Kennedy School of Goverment
In full generality, there are three kinds of certificates or corresponding protected database entries.[1] A general definition of a certificate is "two or more facts represented in a machine-interpretable form that is digitally signed by a key belonging to some authority on the stated relationships among those facts".
That is, the Certificate Authority (CA) that generates the certificate and digitally signs it asserts that the name and the public key belong to the same person.
This simplified the system using these certificates and improved on the security of the resulting system, since the issuer of the ID certificate was not used and therefore was no longer in a position to circumvent the authorization grant.

 Using PFX and PEM Certificate Formats with Keystores
The certificate and public key are used for handshaking and further data encryption between client and server.
Identity certificate: In cryptography, a public key certificate (or identity certificate) is a certificate that uses a digital signature to bind together a public key with identity information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth.
The result is a certificate chain that begins at the trusted root CA, through the intermediate, and ending with the SSL certificate issued to you.

 SSL Certificate FAQ - Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL Certificates) - Online Identity Assurance - Online Identity ...
To issue an SSL Certificate that complies with the standard, a CA must adopt the extended certificate validation practice and pass a Webtrust audit.
The validation process requires the CA to authenticate the certificate applicant’s domain ownership and organizational identity, as well as the individual approver’s employment with the applicant, and authority to obtain the Extended Validation SSL Certificate.
The resulting charter, certificate, license or equivalent must be verifiable through that registration agency.

 Public key certificate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, a public key certificate (or identity certificate) is a certificate which uses a digital signature to bind together a public key with an identity — information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth.
In X.509 PKI systems, the hierarchy of certificates is always a top-down tree, with a root certificate at the top, representing a CA that is 'so central' to the scheme that it does not need to be authenticated by some trusted third party.
A certificate may be revoked if it is discovered that its related private key has been compromised, or if the relationship (between an entity and a public key) embedded in the certificate is discovered to be incorrect or has changed; this might occur, for example, if a person changes jobs or names.

 Security Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the Identity Assertion provider implementation to perform whatever actions are necessary to establish validity and trust in the token and to provide the identity of the user with a reasonable degree of assurance, without the need for the user to re-authenticate to the application.
If the recipient has a digital certificate containing the public key of the certificate authority signed by a superior certificate authority who the recipient already trusts, the recipient of an encrypted message can develop trust in the public key of a certificate authority recursively.
An SSL connection begins with a handshake during which the applications exchange digital certificates, agree on the encryption algorithms to be used, and generate the encryption keys to be used for the remainder of the session.

The signature of the authentication service enables the receiving UAC to verify that the body and thus the certificate has not been tampered with while in transit from the authentication server to the recipient, and that it was provided by a particular entity stated in the FROM field (as indicated in the assertion).
This is important, as the receiving client may not be able to verify the certificate provided by the initiator of the communication (for example, it is a self signed certificate or the certificate was created by a corporate CA and the root certificate of the issuing CA cannot be validated).
In-band certificate provision may be done as described in RFC 3261 [RFC3261] for self-signed certificates or by Fries, et al.
