What are the different kinds of certificates?
✍: Guest
These are some of the most common types of certificates and what they are used for:
| Certificate type | What it's used for |
| Encrypting File System | Encrypting and decrypting documents. |
| Server authentication | Verifying the identity of a server to computers that are connecting to it. |
| Client authentication | Verifying the identity of a computer to a server it is connecting to. |
| Secure e-mail | Encrypting and digitally signing e-mail. |
| Code signing | Verifying the publisher of a program. For example, if you download an ActiveX program, its digital signature verifies that it is published by the organization that is listed as the publisher. |
| File recovery | Recovering encrypted files if the EFS certificate is accidentally deleted or damaged. |
