3.1CrypToken® M2048 with RaakSign® Middleware

Storing Certificates on the CrypToken

Attach the CrypToken to your computer and run the Token Administration Utility that was installed together with the RaakSign Middleware. Go to "Digital IDs" and select "Import Digital ID" or "Import Certificate" depending on the extension of your certificate file.

Select "Import Digital ID" for

.pfx

.p12

or "Import Certificate" for

.cer

.der

Afterwards browse to your certificate file and enter its password. RaakSign Administration Utility will prompt for the CrypToken PIN on the next screen. You will get a notification after the certificate was successfully stored.

Backup Certificates

Your digital certificate comprises a public part containing a public key and a digital signature, with an accompanying private key. The certificate does not work without the private key. That is why it is vital to take good care of the private key.

After applying for a certificate you will receive an encrypted file. That file contains the public part signed by the CA and the private key. MARX recommends to copy the certificate file to a removable media (floppy disk, CD, USB storage drive etc.) and keep it in a safe location. This allows you to restore the certificate from the backup, should the original be lost or deleted.

It is not possible to backup certificates that are stored on the CrypToken.

Please take this into account before deleting the original certificate file.
