Intel Digital Certificate Manager

Digital Certificates are electronic equivalents of the many cards we use daily for identification and authorization. Examples include drivers licenses, credit cards, library cards, and medi-care cards, among others. The Digital Certificate Manager is a sample application that allows end-users to view existing digital certificates and create new digital certificates. The certificate manager displays standard name and address fields present in most types of certificates, as well as graphical data such as a photo of the certificate owner or a digitized cursive signature of that owner. Certificates are not always independent credentials. Some certificates obtain their authority from a related certificate. For example, the Big East Federal Bank may accept your personal First Western Bank certificate because the First Western Bank certificate is chained to your personal certificate. The certificate manager allows users to traverse, view and build certificate chains.

The certificate manager uses the security services provided by and through CSSM. CSSM and a set of add-in security modules must be resident on the system for use by the certificate manager application. CSSM and an Intel Cryptographic Services Module are available as separate downloads.

The certificate manager application and CSSM execute in the Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows NT* environments. The Windows 3.1 environment is not supported.

The certificate manager and CSSM are beta releases. The CSSM software expires, making the certificate manager non-functional, on April 30, 1997.
