Encryption Key Copy

- -

Certificate authorities (CAs) that issue separate signing and encryption email certificates typically make backup copies of your private encryption key during the certificate enrollment process. Separate signing and encryption certificates require email software that supports dual key pairs for use in signing and encrypting email.

- -

It's important to understand that a CA that has archived a backup copy of your encryption key has the potential capability of decrypting any messages encrypted with your public key. If you trust your CA with this capability, click OK. After your CA makes a backup copy of the encryption key, you will be able to use that key to access your encrypted mail even if you lose your password or lose your own copy of the key. If no backup copy of your encryption key exists and you lose your password or the key, you will have no way of reading any of your encrypted email messages.

- -

If you don't trust the CA that is requesting the backup copy, don't request a certificate from it. Click Cancel to stop both the backup procedure and the request for a certificate.

- -

If you are not sure whether to trust the CA that is requesting the backup copy, talk to your system administrator.

Certificate Backup

Certificate Backup

When you receive a certificate, make a backup copy of the certificate and its private key, then store the copy in a safe place. For example, you can put the copy on a floppy disk and store it with other valuable items under lock and key. That way, even if you have hard disk or file corruption problems, you can easily restore the certificate.

Like any other valuable data, certificates should be backed up to avoid future trouble and expense. Do it now so you don't forget.

Certificate Renewal

- -

Like a credit card, a driver's license, and many other forms of identification, a certificate is valid for a specified period of time. When a certificate expires, you need to get a new one—unless you have decided that you don't need that certificate anymore.

Certifocate Manager displays the Certificate Renewal window when it detects that one of your certificates is about to expire. Information about the certificate is displayed at the top of the window. The information provided includes the name of the CA that issued the certificate (labeled "Issued Under").
