A self certificate is a certificate issued by a CA identifying your device (or
self- signed if you don't want the identity protection of a CA). To request a
self certificate to be signed by a CA, you can generate a Certificate Signing
Request from the gateway by entering identification parameters and
sending to the CA for signing. Once signed, the CA's Trusted Certificate and
signed certificate from the CA are uploaded to activate the self-certificate
validating the identity of this gateway. The self certificate is then used in
IPsec with peers to validate the gateway's authenticity.
