AP Certificates Trustpoints

Each certificate is digitally signed by a trustpoint. The trustpoint signing the certificate can be a certificate authority, corporate or individual. A trustpoint represents a CA/identity pair containing the identity of the CA, CA-specific configuration parameters and an association with an enrolled identity certificate.
