Certificates are the digital equipvalent of ID cards--they help other people identify you, and they help you identify other people, web sites, and organizations.
To examine or configure the certificates you have on file, click Manage Certificates.
A security device is a hardware or software device that stores your certificates and keys. For example, a smart card is a security device. Netscape 6 has its own built-in software security device, and you can use additional security devices, such as smart cards, at the same time.
To examine or configure your security devices, click Manage Security Devices.
