A PKIoverheid server certificate is a digital certificate used to secure communication between your server and users or other systems. It ensures that all transmitted data is encrypted, preventing unauthorised parties from viewing or altering it.
The certificate also verifies the identity of your server, allowing users and systems to trust that they are connecting to the legitimate server and not an impersonator.
In short: a PKIoverheid server certificate provides security, trust, and integrity for all data exchanged over the internet.
How do I know if I need a PKIo server certificate?
You need a server certificate if your server must provide secure communication with users, customers, or other servers. This is the case, for example, when:
- Your website or application processes sensitive information such as passwords, personal data, or payment information.
- You exchange data between servers (server-to-server communication) that must be protected against eavesdropping or tampering.
In short: if you want to ensure security, privacy, and trust in data exchange over the internet, a server certificate is essential.
