A public key is transmitted as part of a certificate. The certificates listed in the Certificates
tabs ensure that the submitted public key is, in fact, the public key that belongs to the sub-
mitter. The Ikôn checks that the certificate has been digitally signed by a certification
authority that the Ikôn explicitly trusts.
Your Ikôn has certificates already preinstalled in the unit. Personal certificates establish
your identity, Intermediate certificates, as the name suggests, identifies intermediate certifi-
cation authorities and Root certificates establish the identity of the servers with which you
can connect.
