InCommon Digital Certificates
Digital certificates boost online security, and can be requested to ensure security for websites, servers, applications and more. Certificates add the ‘s’ in “https” and are also used to encrypt web traffic, confirm identity, secure communications between parties, and ensure integrity of transmissions. UC Santa Cruz uses the InCommon Certificate service.
