What is a Certificate Authority?
A Certificate Authority (CA) is an organization entrusted with signing digital certificates. The CA verifies the identity and legitimacy of the company or individual requesting a certificate. Upon successful verification, the CA issues a signed certificate.

How to work with it?
During the SSL handshake, when a server presents a certificate to a client (e.g., a web browser), the client attempts to verify the signature against a list of trusted signers. Web browsers typically come with lists of CAs that they implicitly trust to identify hosts. If the authority is not in the list, such as with some sites that sign their own certificates, the browser will alert the user that the certificate is not signed by a recognized authority and ask if they wish to continue communication with the unverified site.
1Byte offers SSL certificates signed by SSL.com. This CA has 99.9% browser support, so browsers will not display security errors when connecting to a site secured by an SSL.com certificate.
If you activated an SSL certificate with us before August 18, 2026, it was signed by Sectigo (formerly Comodo) and remains fully valid and trusted for its entire validity period — there is nothing you need to reinstall or reconfigure.
