The Certificates dialog box is used to import, store, and view security
certificates.
Certificates and certificate authorities are used to ensure that an SSL
connection is made to the intended secure server. Certificate
information is exchanged between the terminal browser and the
secure server when establishing a connection. If the certificate can be
authenticated by a trusted certificate authority, the secure page will
come up automatically.
A private key is also used to encrypt data over an SSL connection.
To open the Certificates dialog box, double-click the Certificates
icon in the Control Panel.
To import a certificate or private key:
1. Select the type of certificate you would like to import from the
drop-down list.

Trusted Authorities are certificates from authorities you can
trust. The Windows CE .NET browser comes with a
pre-defined list of trusted certificate authorities that include
Thwarte, Entrust, GlobalSign, GTE, and others.
❏
My Certificates are your personal digital certificates.
❏
Other Authorities are intermediate certificate authorities.
2. Click the Import button. The Import Certificate or Key dialog
box is displayed.
