IMPORTINg A DIgITAL CERTIFICATE INTO THE IRONKEY (WindoWs onLy)
The IronKey Cryptochip includes a limited amount of extremely secure hardware storage space,
which can be used for storing the private key associated with a digital certicate. This provides
you with additional strong authentication capabilities. For example, you could store a self-signed
certicate used for internal systems that will allow you to automatically log in when using the
IronKey’s onboard Firefox web browser.
The import process uses IronKey’s PKCS#11 interface and requires Mozilla Firefox. Note that
there is only space for one additional private key in the IronKey Cryptochip, though that key
will receive the security benets of the Cryptochip’s tamperproof hardware and self-destruct
mechanisms.
