>The term "root CA" used throughout this article refers to the topmost authority public certificate of the PKI certificate chain, and not necessarily the certificate root of a syndicated certificate authority. In many cases, it is actually an intermediate CA public certificate.

The IoT Edge security daemon uses the IoT Edge device CA certificate to sign a workload CA certificate, which in turn signs a server certificate for IoT Edge hub. The gateway presents its server certificate to the downstream device during the initiation of the connection. The downstream device checks to make sure the IoT Edge device CA certificate is signed by the root CA certificate. This process allows the downstream device to confirm that the gateway comes from a trusted source. For more information, see [Understand how Azure IoT Edge uses certificates](iot-edge-certs.md).

The gateway presents its server certificate to the downstream device during the initiation of the connection. The downstream device checks to make sure that the server certificate is part of a certificate chain that rolls up to the root CA certificate. This process allows the downstream device to confirm that the gateway comes from a trusted source. For more information, see [Understand how Azure IoT Edge uses certificates](iot-edge-certs.md).

The following steps walk you through the process of creating the certificates and installing them in the right places on the gateway. You can use any machine to generate the certificates, and then copy them over to your IoT Edge device.
