Delivering Your Digital Certificate to You

There are in effect two different ways that we can deliver your new digital certificate to you. The first way is referred to as the "Package Method" and involves generating both the public key and the private key at the same time. These are then packaged and sent to the end user at the same time in a "package. Depending on the deployment environment, this is the simplest method of delivery.

The Process Method of Digital Certificate Delivery

When you have your new digital certificate delivered via the process method, you are going to be using a two stage delivery process. While the public key may be sent directly to you, the private key will never leave the user's specific device such as their RSA token, smartphone or any one of several other storage devices. This method may be far more useful for those who have staff that are mobile and yet still need access to the corporate database no matter where they happen to be.
