LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Name	This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. If you want

	certificate. You may use any character (not including spaces).

	details screen. This automatically clears the check box in the details
	screen of the certificate that was previously set to sign the imported
	trusted remote host certificates.
Certificate Path	Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the
	hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and
	the certificate itself).
	If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as
	a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification
	authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate
	is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the
	list. The NWA does not trust the certificate and displays “Not trusted”
	in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been revoked.
Refresh	Click Refresh to display the certification path.
Certificate	These read-only fields display detailed information about the
Information	certificate.
Type	This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-signed
	means that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. Self-signed
	means that the certificate’s owner signed the certificate (not a
	certification authority). “X.509” means that this certificate was
	created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509 recommendation
	that defines the formats for public-key certificates.
Version	This field displays the X.509 version number.
Serial Number	This field displays the certificate’s identification number given by the
	certification authority or generated by the NWA.
Subject	This field displays information that identifies the owner of the
	certificate, such as Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU),
	Organization (O) and Country (C).
Issuer	This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s
	issuing certification authority, such as Common Name, Organizational
	Unit, Organization and Country.
	With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name
	field.
Signature	This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the
Algorithm	certificate. The NWA uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA public-private key
	encryption algorithm and the SHA1 hash algorithm). Some
	certification authorities may use ras-pkcs1-md5 (RSA public-private
	key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash algorithm).
