Migrate Keys through the Computer Security Migration Wizard
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide
For instructions on digitally signing and encrypting email, refer to the
email client online Help.
To use secure email, you must first configure the email client to use a
digital certificate that is created with Embedded Security. If a digital
certificate is not available, you must obtain one from a Certification
Authority. For instructions on configuring your email and obtaining a
digital certificate, refer to the email client online Help.
To send an encrypted email message, you will need a copy of the
recipient's public key or encryption certificate. (The certificate
contains a copy of the recipient's public key.)
Microsoft Outlook uses the recipient's public key to encrypt your
email; therefore you are not requested to insert your private key.
However, you do need your private key to read an encrypted email
because the decryption requires the private key that corresponds to
the public key used to encrypt the email.
The administrator can perform a number of tasks, some of which are
described below. For more information, refer to the HP ProtectTools
Embedded Security Help.
Migration is an advanced administrator task that allows the
management, restoration, and transfer of keys and certificates.
The first step of migration is the authorization, setup, and
management of the migration process. Once authorization is
complete, the user exports and imports keys and certificates from the
source computer to the destination computer.
For details on migration, refer to the HP ProtectTools Embedded
Security Help.
