Certificate Types

CertiNext manages multiple certificate types that support different use cases:

• TLS/SSL Certificates – Secure transport for web applications, APIs, microservices, load balancers, and internal services.

• Client & Device Certificates – Identify and authenticate users, machines, servers, and network devices for secure access and mutual TLS communication.

• Code Signing Certificates – Ensure software integrity and verify publisher identity for applications, scripts, drivers, and updates.

• Document Signing Certificates – Enable digital signing of documents such as PDFs, contracts, invoices, and official records, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation.

• IoT & Embedded Certificates – Provide secure identity for internet-connected devices, sensors, gateways, and industrial endpoints.

• Private Certificates (Any Profile) – Support internally issued certificates for enterprise applications, internal domains, DevOps environments, VPNs, and custom trust models under private PKI policies.

• Private CA Hierarchies – Manage and govern full private PKI hierarchies including Root and Intermediate CAs, enabling controlled issuance, policy enforcement, key management, and trust chain administration across internal environments.

Each certificate type has distinct usage scenarios and lifecycle requirements that CertiNext tracks and automates.
