Click View Fingerprint of Certificate.
A window showing the fingerprint of the certificate to be imported is displayed. Check the fin-
gerprint (= hexadecimal numeral). The fingerprint always changes if a certificate has been
changed. An unchanged fingerprint is the only guarantee that the certificate is authentic. If the
two fingerprints are not identical, an attempted attack has probably occurred. Appropriate mea-
sures should be taken.
Click OK to close the window with the fingerprint.
Click Import Certificate from Fileif you are satisfied with the fingerprint check. Do not import the
certificate if the fingerprint does not meet your expectations.
