    “a public key certificate maps the value of a public key to the identity or the person/device/service that holds the corresponding private key “

     

    Can someone explain this to me in words I might stand a chance of understanding , perhaps with an example !

     

    Many thanks Si

    where did you read this? 

    This sounds like SSH documentation.  Or some sort of security documentation.  This is talking about a "public key" something that you can give to anyone fairly safely.  The private key is something that you don't share.  There is a lot more to it, but it needs to be explained in context.
