self-signed certificate
A public key certificate whose digital signature may be verified by the public key contained within the certificate.
The signature on a self-signed certificate protects the integrity of the data, but does not guarantee authenticity of the information. The trust of self-signed certificates is based on the secure procedures used to distribute them. [NIST SP 800-57 Part 1]
