digital certificate

Read a random definition: poena pilloralis

A quick definition of digital certificate:

A digital certificate is like a special ID card for your computer that helps keep your online information safe. It shows who you are and that you can be trusted when you send important documents or messages over the internet. It also has a secret code that only you and the person you're sending the message to can read, so nobody else can see it. Think of it like a secret handshake between you and your friend that nobody else knows!

A more thorough explanation:

A digital certificate is a computer-based record that identifies the certifying authority and the subscriber who was issued a digital signature for electronically transmitted documents. It provides the person's public key for decrypting the digital signature.

For example, when you visit a website that has a digital certificate, your browser will verify that the certificate was issued by a trusted authority and that the website is who it claims to be. This helps to ensure that your personal information, such as your credit card number, is kept secure.

Subscribers register with certification authorities to obtain digital signatures. Certificates may include additional information, such as issuance and expiration dates, and recommended reliance limits for transactions relying on the certificate. The certificate also serves as an electronic notarization when attached to an electronic document by the sender.

Overall, digital certificates are important for ensuring the security and authenticity of electronic transactions and communications.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before

18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.

Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38

texaslawhopefully

TGM
18:39

TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
