It really is time you learned how to use Google: see https://www.google.com/search?q=certificates[^].

The only thing I gathered from that link is that certificates are used by web servers and web browsers only.

I still couldn't find an answer to my question there. Is it only web servers and clients that can use them? Does it mean my own written server and client cannot?

A web server is only a server. It just happens to present its output in the form of HTML.
