Display Archived Certificates
Archived certificates are certificates that have expired or have been renewed. In many cases, it is good practice to retain archived certificates instead of deleting them. For example, you might keep an archived certificate to verify digital signatures on old documents that were signed by using the key on the now-expired or renewed certificate.
