What is website authentication?
In order to be trusted by users, the operators of servers and websites on the internet must be clearly identifiable. Website authentication certificates (WAC) are issued to assure users (in particular citizens and SMEs) that there is a legal entity (or natural person) behind the website that can be identified using reliable information. In addition to this secure identification of websites and server systems in the network, the WAC certificates guarantee the confidentiality of the transmitted data and data integrity.
