Certificates
Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs (Certi- fication Authorities). These Certificates are called "Self Certificates".
Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate communication with the CA. These certificates are called "Trusted Certificates."
The Certificates screen lists either the Trusted Certificates - the certificates of each CA itself - or Self Certificates - the certificates issued to you.
Use the radio button in the Type section of the screen to choose which type of Certificate you wish to view.
