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 certifi-
cates are called "Trusted Certificates." 
The Certificates screen lists either the Trusted Certificate - the certificates of each CA itself - or Self Certificate - the certificates 
issued to you.
