A digital certificate is a Digital ID that identifies you to others when you are sending or receiving encrypted or digitally signed ZIP files. A digital certificate provides an alternative to using a password when securing data. In order to encrypt files to send to someone else, you can either encrypt using a password, or you can use their public key. The recipient can only open the files you send if they are provided the password, or they have the digital certificate matching to the public key used for encryption. Using passwords is easy, but it is difficult to safely exchange a password, and even more difficult to remember it over time. Digital certificates provide stronger protection and eliminate difficulties associated with using a password. A digital certificate consists of a private key and a public key. Your private key is something which you hold securely and use to decrypt ZIP files or to digitally sign ZIP files for authentication purposes. Your public key is given to others that need to encrypt ZIP files that you are allowed to open.
