+<postreq><p>The self-signed certificate can be included in installation files
+and used to verify the digital signature with a matching private key. However,
+secure installation requires that the certificate containing the public key
+be digitally signed by a trusted third party. Therefore, a certificate
+request must be sent to the Certification Authority (CA) for signing. See <xref href="GUID-1747534D-063A-45B0-8636-E7767F984BB0.dita">Generating a Certificate
+Request</xref> for details about creating a certificate request.</p></postreq>
