Security Alert: Fraudulent Digital Certificates
- Abstract
- Digital certificates are critical for businesses and customers who download patches, updates and various other forms of software from the Internet, because they allow software developers to digitally sign their software for secure delivery over the Internet, on the one hand, and verify to the end-user that the software is being supplied from a particular company, such as Microsoft, on the other.
