Intranet SSL Certificate

An Intranet SSL certificate functions similarly to SSL certificates issued by public authorities but is specifically designed for private networks or internal sites. It secures data exchanges within private environments by encrypting the communication between client devices and server over HTTPS. This encryption ensures that even if unauthorized parties attempt to intercept the data, they cannot decipher it, safeguarding sensitive information and passwords exchanged within the internal network.

Key Features of Intranet SSL Certificates

Technical Specifications & Installation:

• Intranet SSL certificates share the same technical specifications and installation procedures as public SSL certificates. However, their usage differs.

Compliance with CA/B Forum Regulations:

• According to the CA/Browser Forum regulations, public CAs cannot issue SSL certificates for internal server names, localhost, or reserved IP addresses. As a result, private servers must acquire SSL certificates from Private CAs.
