Certificates issued to a person on eID can be used to encrypt data. Data encryption is mainly used to ensure data authenticity. Protect its confidentiality and ensure non-repudiation while its being sent over computer networks or stored.
Data encryption with digital certificates relies on Public Key Infrastructure. To encrypt the data the sender will acquire a receivers certificate (public key) from “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol”. Therefore, the owner of the corresponding private key (certificate) is the only one who can access the encrypted data.
