Digital Certificates and JANET Certificate Service

Digital certificates provide the necessary link between objects in the electronic world and real people or organisations. In its simplest form a digital certificate may assert, for example, "this is the JANET web server".

Digital server certificates are used to form the trust fabric of the UK Access Management Federation. To participate in the UK federation, members need to obtain one of the digital certificate products recognised by the federation. This includes certificates issued by the JANET Certificate Service.

JANET Certificate Service provides a simple online interface, automated processing of certificate requests, along with the ability to monitor and manage new certificates. For more information visit the JANET Certificate Service page.
