Self-signed certificates are mostly used internally within labs or business environments where the certificates are created by a person or company and not a trusted third-party.
These certificates, although not created by trusted third party certificate authority (CA), it has the same level of encryption as trusted certificates.
Certificates that are self-signed that are being used to protect a resource will display warning in all web browsers that the certificate can’t be trusted.
