Checking the authenticity of a
certificate

1

Select the certificate and tap

Details

. A view of

certificate details opens.

2

The

Issued to:

field identifies the owner of this

certificate. Make sure that this is the name of the
party to whom you think that this certificate belongs.

3

Scroll the dialog until you see the

Fingerprint:

field,

which uniquely identifies the certificate. Contact the
help desk or customer service of the owner of the
certificate (see step 2 above) and ask for the MD5
fingerprint of the certificate. Compare the fingerprint
with the one shown in the dialog. If they match, the
certificate should be authentic.

Use this authentication procedure each time you add a
new certificate.
