Select the PEM format.

Installing AUSSEC certificate

Move the window titled "Install Certificate" to a convenient spot on the screen so that the SHA1 and the MD5 fingerprints on the page below are visible.

Caution: You need to "View" the Certificate before you proceed.

Comparing certificates

Select the View button, scroll down until the fingerprints become visible and compare the fingerprints. Deselect "Warn me before using this certificate". Close the dialogue box using the OK button at the bottom of the box.

If the fingerprints compared successfully it is safe to select Install. If the fingerprints did not compare successfully you must select Cancel, as this certificate may not belong to AUSSEC. Please advise AUSSEC immediately if this is the case.
