Example of a Trust Store list

The Trust Store contains signed and trusted CA certificates with their public keys. the Trust Store contains no private keys. Trust Store CA certificates are used by the client Workbench or station/platform to validate the digital signature of the server certificate to which the client is connecting. If the certificate names and signatures match, communication begins. If they do not match, an error message allows you to approve a security exception.

You add certificates to Workbench’s Trust Store or a station’s Trust Store by importing them.
