Security Certificates

In a WebSphere network environment, a certificate is a digital document used to verify the identity of a server, client, or application. It contains key information, including the public key of the entity and is issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). WebSphere also has a default chained certificate when you enable security as well. Certificates play a crucial role in enabling SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring secure communication by encrypting data in transit and validating the identities of parties involved in the exchange. WebSphere uses certificates to establish trust between servers and clients, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality across the network.
