Security Certificates
A Trusted Certificate Authority is a Certificate Authority (CA) that is trusted to authenticate digital
certificates. This page allows trusted root certificates to be uploaded to a server so that the server will
‘trust’ any certificates that have been signed by that CA.
Digital certificates and the enablement of SSL provides encryption for all workflows where the device is
used as a HTTPS server.
Workflows include:
• Administration of the device via Internet Services
• Printing via Internet Services
• Printing via IPP
• Scan Template Management
• Workflow Scanning via HTTPS
• Administration of Network Accounting
