6.3 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."

Trusted Certificates

Self
Certificates
