Public Key Infrastructure
The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) windows enable you to generate enrollment
requests and RSA keys, and manage keys and certificates. You can use the Simple
Certificate Enrollment Process (SCEP) to create an enrollment request and an
RSA key pair and receive certificates online, create an enrollment request that you
can submit to a Certificate Authority (CA) server offline, or use Secure Device
Provisioning (SDP) to enroll for a certificate.

Certificate Wizards

This window allows you to select the type of enrollment you are performing. It
also alerts you to configuration tasks that you must perform befor e beginning
