Using Certificates

Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs

(Certification 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 both the Trusted Certificate - the certificates of each CA itself -

and Self Certificates - the certificates issued to you.
