This document helps you how to add certificates to visionOS devices.

To safeguard an organization’s confidential data, it is crucial to implement robust security measures when deploying new devices. One secure method is to add or install a digital certificate on the user’s device, enabling users to securely exchange information between trusted parties. A digital certificate helps streamline authentication and verifies data integrity. For instance, digital certificates allow users to securely authenticate with organizational networks and services.
