Digital certificates create accountability-based security for network access and document integrity

So why are digital certificates owned by an affiant important for accountability-based security? Well specifically here are some of the reasons to consider:

• Authentication: Identity attestation verifies the identity of the affiant before granting access to sensitive information or resources
• Secure Communication and Integrity Authentication: Documents that are signed with digital certificates ensure that nothing has changed from when the author created it.
• Non-repudiation: Digital certificates provide non-repudiation, meaning that the sender cannot deny sending a message or performing a transaction.
• Protection Against Phishing: Identity attestation and digital certificates help protect against phishing attacks by verifying the identity of the sender and ensuring that communications are secure and trustworthy.
• Compliance: The use of identity attestation with digital certificates complies with security and privacy regulations.
