We can copy the above text into a text file, and save the file as
"equifax.pem". The next step, convert it to a der format using open ssl.

$openssl x509 -outform DER -in equifax.pem -out equifax.der

The final step is to transfer these certificates to your phone. USB, IR, or Bluetooth will all work for this purpose.
