One can receive a PKI certificate, or a public-key infrastructure certificate, is by digitally signing and publishing the public key bound to a given user.
Embedding the public key in a digital certificate protects it from impersonators by associating and binding a user's identity to the public key. A digital certificate is the user's public key that has been "digitally signed" by a trustworthy source trusted to sign it. And, instead of "trustworthy" you could use the word: reputable.

Cross-Certificates OverviewA cross-certificate is a certificate issued by one Certificate Authority (CA) that signs the public key for the root certificate of another Certificate Authority. Cross-certificates provide a means to create a chain of trust from a single, trusted, root CA to multiple other CAs.
A digital certificate typically contains the subject’s name, the public key associated with the subject, the certificate authority's (CA) name, the digital signature of the CA, and the certificate's validity period. It may also include information about the certificate's purpose and the algorithms used for encryption. This information helps establish the identity of the certificate holder and ensures secure communications over networks.
