In a typical public-key infrastructure (PKI) scheme, the signer is a certificate authority (CA),
usually a company such as VeriSign which charges customers to issue certificates for
them. In a web of trust scheme, the signer is either the key's owner (a self-signed
certificate) or other users ("endorsements") whom the person examining the certificate
might know and trust. The device also plays as a CA role.
Certificates are an important component of Transport Layer Security (TLS, sometimes
called by its older name SSL), where they prevent an attacker from impersonating a
secure website or other server. They are also used in other important applications, such
as email encryption and code signing. Here, it can be used in IPSec tunneling for user
authentication.
