A certificate, in the context of web browsing, confirms the security and authenticity of a website. It is issued by a Certificate Authority and helps establish a secure connection via HTTPS. The certificate assures users that the web server is the entity it claims to be and that sensitive information is encrypted during transfer. A key is something you keep private or share only with trusted parties, and a warranty provides assurance about service or product reliability-neither directly relates to a website's certificate.
