Abstract
When an unknown person comes in freely to talk to us, I believe that the first question that pops up within us will be with their identity. Incoming host detection requests are sometimes fishy but not in all cases; we may also have some peer friend of ours outside a network who wants to connect with us; we can’t neither give complete trust on any incoming request nor decline it. How probable it is that the one who tries to connect us is a well-known entity of ours? All we need is the authenticity. Digital certificates are one of a kind that could help us with the authentication. The contents of the certificates disclose the identity of individual. Each messaging participant generates a matched pair of encryption keys—a private key, which is never revealed or transmitted, and a public key, which is freely available to other participants. These keys are stored in a local file or repository called a key store, and the public key is stored as part of a digital certificate. The certificate can be attached to a service operation to verify the sender’s identity and to provide the recipient with the means to encode a response.
