Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A digital signature is a security procedure that uses public key cryptography to assign to a document a code or signature for which you alone have the key. This helps ensure the authenticity and integrity of the document. A certificate is a digital document that verifies the identity of a person or organization, while a certificate authority is a trusted third party that issues and manages certificates. PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is a system or framework for managing digital certificates and public-private key pairs.
