What can we do with certificates?

The previous scenario is not the only way we can use a certificate. Let's look into some of the scenarios where we can use certificates:

• When networks extend their network boundaries to allow remote virtual private networks (VPNs), it is important to protect the data transfer between two networks. Intercepted network traffic can cause serious infrastructure security issues. IPSEC is a network protocol used to encrypt the network traffic using cryptographic keys. Therefore, we can use certificates to encrypt the traffic between two peers.
• The physical security of the data also matters when considering data security. People are moving into mobile computing, and we need a way to protect the data inside these ...
