2 +In this microlearning, we’ll explore what certificates are and how they play a crucial role in securing data traffic. Certificates act as digital credentials that verify identities and enable secure communication between parties. We’ll cover the basics of how certificates work, their uses in authentication and encryption, and the differences between self-signed and CA-signed certificates. By the end, you'll understand how to use certificates effectively to ensure trust and security in your systems.
