A certificate is a certificate electronically signed by a reliable third party verifying that a specific public key belongs to a specific user of a key. With the help of a certificate, it is possible to verify a person's identity, or verify an identity and link the verification data to the signatory of the signature. In addition to the public key, the certificate also contains other data, such as the name of a person or organisation, the day of granting of the certificate, last day of validity or individualised serial number. The Act on strong electronic identification and electronic signatures contains provisions on the data content of qualified certificates and operations of the certification service provider.
