Public keys are used as the encryption algorithm for security systems. For the validity of public keys, certificates are issued
by a Certificate Authority. The Certificate Authority certifies that the person or the entity is authenticated and that the present
public key belongs to that same person or entity. As the certificate contains values such as the name of the owner, the
validity period, the issuing authority, and a stamp with a signature of the authority, it is seen as a digital pass. On this screen,
you enter server certificate information, which the firewall needs to authenticate itself to your browser. After saving the
settings, the browser’s security information settings have to be cleared.
