To simplify workflows that use digital IDs, consider doing the following before using your ID: Specifying Digital ID Usage: Set an ID to automatically use each time one is required for signing or certificate encryption. Sharing (Exporting) a Digital ID Certificate: Since a digital ID's certificate contains the public key required for validating your digital signature and encrypting documents for you, send it to those who participate in these kinds of workflows with you ahead of time.
