About Security Certificates
A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital signatures.
One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other device. Or, the
device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature proving its
ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:
• Information about the owner of the certificate
• The certificate serial number and expiration date
• A public key
• A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
This printer supports two types of certificates.
• Device Certificate: This certificate contains a private key and a stated purpose that allows the
printer to use it to prove identity.
• Trusted Certificate: A self-signed certificate is a certificate from a device that verifies its identity to
any devices that connect to it.
Note: This printer does not support Certificate Authority (CA) certificates.
To ensure that the printer can communicate with other devices over a secure trusted connection, both
devices must have specific certificates installed.
