Wi-Fi Certificates: Protect the registration process and encrypt login credentials when connecting to public Wi-Fi!

Wi-Fi Certificates

Increase trust in public hotspots, protect user data, and streamline the registration process using Wi-Fi Alliance-approved OSU certificates.

What is a Wi-Fi Certificate?

A Wi-Fi Certificate protects the registration process and encrypts log-in credentials when connecting to public Wi-Fi, ultimately providing secure network access and increasing trust in public hotspots and sign-up services.

• Authenticates sign-up service providers
• Encrypts user data during the sign-up process and communication between a mobile device and OSU server
• Ensures that a user is communicating with the intended service provider

What is Passpoint^™ certification?

This is a program governed by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. The standards were designed to streamline the process of creating new user accounts, as well as make finding and connecting to the right service provider simple and secure. DigiCert is a designated provider authorized to validate Wi-Fi service providers and provide Online Sign-Up (OSU) server certificates—also known as Wi-Fi certificates.

Wi-Fi Certificate Options

• Wi-Fi Server Certificate: Secures a public Wi-Fi hotspot, so users can identify that the network is yours, can be trusted, and is safe.
• Wi-Fi Multi-Domain Certificate: Secures a public Wi-Fi hotspot, so users can identify that the network is yours, can be trusted, and is safe.

How Wi-Fi Certificates Work?

To get a Wi-Fi certificate, a service provider must apply for one from a Wi-Fi Alliance-certified certificate provider, like DigiCert. The service provider must provide documentation to prove their identity and that they are a legitimate Wi-Fi provider. 
 

Once the validation process is complete, the service provider can receive the certificate. The service provider then installs the certificate on an OSU server and it is used during the online sign-up process between the service provider and an end-user.
