digital certificate
(I) A certificate document in the form of a digital data object (a
data object used by a computer) to which is appended a computed
digital signature value that depends on the data object. (See:
attribute certificate, capability, public-key certificate.)
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this term to refer to a signed CRL or CKL.
Although the recommended definition can be interpreted to include
those items, the security community does not use the term with
those meanings.
