Figure 140 Certificate trust settings Use this certificate as a trusted root: Makes the certificate a trust anchor. The net result is that any certificates which chain up to this one will also be trusted for signing. At least one certificate in the chain (and preferably only one) must be a trusted root (trust anchor) to validate signatures and timestamps. Tip: There is no need to make end entity certificates trust anchors if they issued by a certificate holder whose certificate you have configured as a trust anchor. It is best practice to trust the topmost certificate that is reasonable to trust because revocation checking occurs on every certificate in a chain until that anchor is reached. For example, in a large organization, it is likely you would want to trust your company's certificate. If that certificate was issued by VeriSign, you would not want to make VeriSign a trusted root unless you wanted to trust every certificate that chains up to VeriSign. Signed documents or data: Trusts the certificate for approval signatures. Tip: This setting is disabled because if the certificate is set as a trust anchor. Trust anchors are automatically trusted for approval signatures. Certified documents: Trusts the certificate for certification signatures.
