Managing Privacy Manager Certificates
Privacy Manager Certificates protect data and messages using a cryptographic technology called public
key infrastructure (PKI). PKI requires users to obtain cryptographic keys and a Privacy Manager
Certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA). Unlike most data encryption and authentication software
that only requires you to authenticate periodically, Privacy Manager requires authentication each time
you sign an e-mail message or a Microsoft Office document using a cryptographic key. Privacy Manager
makes the process of saving and sending your important information safe and secure.
You can perform the following tasks:
●
Request and install a Privacy Manager Certificate
●
View Privacy Manager Certificate details
●
Renew Privacy Manager Certificates
●
When multiple certificates are available, set a default Privacy Manager Certificate to be used by
Privacy Manager
●
Delete and revoke a Privacy Manager Certificate (advanced)
Requesting and installing a Privacy Manager Certificate
Before you can use the Privacy Manager features, you must request and install a Privacy Manager
Certificate (from within Privacy Manager) using a valid e-mail address. The e-mail address must be set
up as an account within Microsoft Outlook on the same computer from which you are requesting the
Privacy Manager Certificate.
