SunScreen SKIP User's Guide, Release 1.5.1

Keys, Certificates, and Algorithms

Upgrade packages for U.S. Domestic (2048-bit and 4096-bit) and U.S. Export (2048-bit) keys, certificates, and algorithms from SunCA (Sun Microsystems' Certificate Authority) are intended to be used with SKIP.

U.S. customers and companies and some foreign customers and companies may order additional keys, certificates, and algorithms in stronger encryption strengths.

You can add new key pairs and local identities by using the SunScreen Key and Certificate diskettes that are available from Sun Microsystems Certificate Authority. Contact Sun using the email address CArequest@sun.com. These diskettes contain the private value, a signed certificate of the public value, and CA information. This type of key and certificate is known as an issued certificate.
