This application provides a method for issuing a digital certificate performed by a digital certificate issuing center that includes a public-private key generation module and an authentication module. The method includes: receiving a public-private key request from a node in a blockchain network; generating a public key and a private key of the node by using the public-private key generation module, and transmitting the public and private keys to the node; receiving the public key of the node and registration information of the node, and authenticating the registration information by using the authentication module; and generating, in accordance with a determination that the authentication succeeds, a digital certificate of the node by using the authentication module, and transmitting the digital certificate to the node. The embodiments of this application can improve the probative value of an issued digital certificate, thereby improving the security of data exchange in a blockchain network.
