Overview: Certificate Service

We are able to issue digital certificates that will validate in all common web browsers and SSL/TLS clients. Certificates enable server identification and SSL/TLS transport encryption. We can issue certificates for University-owned domains, including non-ox.ac.uk domains. We do not issue S/MIME certificates or certificates for client identification.

Certificates that we issue will be signed using Entrust (Entrust current root certificates) or Sectigo (Sectigo current root certificates).

This service is only available to registered University ITSS. If you are a researcher or developer then please contact your Local IT team who may be able to request a certificate on your behalf.

For information on how to use this service, please see our certificate service guide on the ITSS wiki.
