Knowledge Base around digital identity certificate

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital credential that verifies the identity of an individual or organization when signing electronic documents or accessing online services. It uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and cryptographic technology to create legally recognized digital signatures, protect document integrity, and authenticate the signer. In India, Digital Signature Certificates are issued by licensed Certifying Authorities (CAs) operating under the regulatory framework of the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA).

Generally, no. A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is issued to a verified individual or organization with specific certificate details, which may include a single email address. If you need a certificate with different identity information or a different email address (where applicable), a new DSC must usually be issued. However, you may own multiple Digital Signature Certificates for different identities, organizations, or email addresses, subject to the issuing Certifying Authority's policies.
