Digital certificates are used to verify the
origins of software but do not
guarantee safety. There are four
different types of certificates: authority
certificates, personal certificates,
trusted site certificates, and device
certificates. During a secure connection,
a server may send a server certificate to
your device. Upon receipt, it is checked
through an authority certificate stored

a remote server to transfer confidential
information. They should also be used if
you want to reduce the risk of viruses or
other malicious software, and to check
the authenticity of software when you
