Certificates
" menu item
Using certificates, you can integrate the reader in your specific security infrastructure.
Certificates are used to check the identity of a person or a device, to authenticate a service or
to encrypt files. You can create your own certificates or use official certificates created by a
certification authority. You can import certificates that contain a certificate as well as a
private key (PKCS#12). When you import certificates and the associated private keys in
separate files, then both files must be coded either in "ASN.1" or "Base64".
