Client certificate authentication is a method of authentication that uses X.509 digital certificates to identify a client and verify its identity. During the authentication process, the client presents its certificate to the server, which verifies its validity and extracts the identity information contained in the certificate. The server then compares the information to the data stored in its database and either approves or denies the client access.
