This option enables you to transmit binary encrypted data through 7-bit channels, or to send binary encrypted data as normal email text. In the E-Business Server program, ASCII armored text files are given the default .asc filename extension, and they are encoded and decoded in the ASCII radix-64 format. For more information on working with ASCII armored files, see Encrypting and transmitting binary data on page 69.

You can either specify the PKCS10 output (to standard output or to a particular file) or specify a Certificate Authority (CA) where you would like to request an X.509 certificate. For more information on adding X.509 certificates to your key, see Working with X.509 Certificates on page 50.
