Chapter 15 Certificates

•Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates. The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the ZyWALL.

"Be careful to not convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this to occur since many programs use text files by default.
