Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates 

When a browser operates in secure mode, the information being transferred is encrypted. Encryption prevents anyone except the actual sender or receiver and the server from viewing the information. This involves a process called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). To ensure the SSL connection is made to the intended server, certificates are used. 

Client Certificates 

The Division of IT offers client certificates for all users in the Columbia and UM business units. The client certificates offered allow for both signing and encryption use.
