Re: [Ejbca-develop] Some Queries related to EJBCA

[yousif h. <yoh...@gm...>]

Dear Parveez,

Firstly, since you know that EJBCA is used for PKI systems, you should be
familiar with the fact that PKI is a system to manage the Digital
Certificate. Starting from your last question, the certificate always
contains the Public Key. In fact the Digital Certificate is the binding of
the public key to one's identity.

Using EJBCA, you can generate Asymmetric keys and sign a Digital
Certificate.

As for the "saving" of the keys (I'll assume you're talking about the
Private Keys), yes you can enable the option of backing up the key. But
then it's important to note that you'd better back up Encryption Keys but
not Signing Keys. The signing Key should always be with the owner of the
key only for non-repudiation purposes.

Best Regards;
Yousif Hussin
