How to See the Security Certificates Stored in Your Computer

Internet Explorer provides you with a window that displays all of the certificates found on the computer so that you can view a list of security certificates installed. This is beneficial if you want to ensure that you have encryption for websites where you exchange personal and sensitive data.
