Trust anchor certificates

Use trust anchor certificates to manage your root and intermediate (ICA) certificates.

Trust anchor certificates are the foundation of trust. They verify the authenticity of your code signing certificates, establish a trust chain, and perform revocation checks within your system.

Trust anchor certificates are essential for importing certificates issued from hierarchies external to those provided by DigiCert, such as Apple hierarchies. The process involves importing the root and Intermediate Certificate Authority (ICA) certificates using trust anchors before importing the end entity certificate. This ensures that the trust chain is established correctly. When the necessary certificates have been imported, the keypair can be used for signing.
