Installing the APNIC Root Certificate

The APNIC root certificate is the certificate used by APNIC to sign your digital certificate.

The APNIC root certificate must be installed in the list of trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) in your computer browser. Root certificates from well known authorities such as Verisign, Thawte, and Entrust are probably installed in your browser by default. This process will add the APNIC root certificate to the trusted CA list.
