Whether you want to add one or multiple certificates to the Code Integrity store on the device, the process is the same: you export the certificates to a PKCS #7 file that is named Ciroots.p7b, and then you include the Ciroots.p7b file in your OS image build as explained in Build an OS Image that Includes the PKCS #7 File. If you are adding multiple certificates, you must first import them from the certificates Management Console snap-in.

PKCS #7 is the Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard that provides syntax for distributing certificates or certificate revocation lists and other messages at a root certificate.
