If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as
a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification
authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate
is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the
list. The OX253P does not trust the certificate and displays “Not
trusted” in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been
revoked.

Certification Information
Type
Type
This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-signed
means that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. Self-signed
means that the certificate’s owner signed the certificate (not a
certification authority). “X.509” means that this certificate was
created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509 recommendation
that defines the formats for public-key certificates.

Algorithm
This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the
certificate. The OX253P uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA public-private key
encryption algorithm and the SHA1 hash algorithm). Some
certification authorities may use rsa-pkcs1-md5 (RSA public-private
key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash algorithm).
