-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).
