<p>As discussed above under <a href="#using_certs_get">Get Your Own Certificate</a>, a certificate is a form of identification, much like a driver's license, that you can use to identify yourself over the Internet and other networks. However, also like a driver's license, a certificate may expire or become invalid for some other reason. Therefore, your browser software needs to confirm the validity of any given certificate in some way before trusting it for identification purposes.

To understand the process, you should have some familiarity with <a href="glossary.html#public-key_cryptography">public-key_cryptography</a>.
