A public key is transmitted as part of a certificate. The certificates listed in the
Certificates tabs ensure that the submitted public key is, in fact, the public key that
belongs to the submitter. The hand-held checks that the certificate has been digitally
signed by a certification authority that the hand-held explicitly trusts.
Your WORKABOUT PRO has certificates already preinstalled in the unit. Two
types of certificates can be stored on your WORKABOUT PRO: personal
certificates that establish your identity and root certificates that establish the identity
of the servers with which you can connect.
