Managing app certificates

An application certificate is a specialized digital signature file that ensures the safe operation of an application in Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 and provides an encrypted communication channel for data exchange between the installed application and the application server. You can use a Certification Authority certificate and/or a client certificate. A key must also be added to the client certificate.
