Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to

the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.
For more information about the security features, see the

A Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) installs on phones after you perform the necessary tasks that are
associated with the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). You can use Cisco Unified

Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) security configurations are complete:

LSC.
