The widespread adoption of mobile devices at workplaces brings significant security challenges like unauthorized access to work emails, password theft, and the utilization of corporate resources on untrusted devices. While password-based authentication is commonly used for security and authentication purposes, they are far from flawless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these drawbacks include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Passwords can be easily stolen or guessed, particularly if they are weak or reused.<\/li>
  2. Users must remember passwords for every resource they access. <\/li>
  3. Password-based authentication is vulnerable to brute-force attacks, where attackers try numerous password combinations until they gain access.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    According to the Digital Shadows research report, over 24 billion passwords<\/a> were exposed by hackers and are available on the dark web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To overcome the risks of password-based authentication, companies now prefer digital certificates (also known as public key certificates or identity certificates) to authenticate the use of devices on corporate networks, securing them from external threats. Digital certificates are akin to a shop’s license, guaranteeing its legitimacy and proving the authenticity of a user, endpoint, server, and website for secure communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do Digital Certificates Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Digital certificates rely on public key cryptography, where a key pair (public and private) acts as a secure lock and key system. The public key is shared openly, and verifies the certificate’s authenticity. The private key is kept secret, and ensures only authorized parties can use the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
