Setup procedures Managing Privacy Manager Certificates Manager Certificates protect data and messages using a cryptographic technology called public key infrastructure (PKI). PKI requires users to obtain cryptographic keys and a Privacy Manager Certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA). Unlike most data encryption and authentication software that only requires you to authenticate periodically, Privacy Manager requires authentication each time you sign an e-mail message or a Microsoft Office document using a cryptographic key. Privacy Manager makes the process of saving and sending your important information safe and secure. Requesting and installing a Privacy Manager Certificate Before you can use the Privacy Manager features, you must request and install a Privacy Manager Certificate (from within Privacy Manager) using a valid e-mail address. The e-mail address must be set up as an account within Microsoft Outlook on the same computer from which you are requesting the Privacy Manager Certificate. Requesting a Privacy Manager Certificate 1. Open Privacy Manager, and click Certificate Manager. 2. Click Request a Privacy Manager Certificate. 3. On the "Welcome" page, read the text, and then click Next. 4. On the "License Agreement" page, read the license agreement. 5. Be sure that the check box next to Check here to accept the terms of this license agreement is selected, and then click Next. 6. On the "Your Certificate Details" page, enter the required information, and then click Next. 7. On the "Certificate Request Accepted" page, click Finish. You will receive an e-mail in Microsoft Outlook with your Privacy Manager Certificate attached. Installing a Privacy Manager Certificate 1. When you receive the e-mail with your Privacy Manager Certificate attached, open the e-mail and click the Setup button, in the lower-right corner of the message. 2. Authenticate using your chosen security logon method. 3. On the "Certificate Installed" page, click Next. 4. On the "Certificate Backup" page, enter a location and name for the backup file, or click Browse to search for a location. CAUTION: Be sure that you save the file to a location other than your hard drive and put it in a safe place. This file should be for your use only, and is required in case you need to restore your Privacy Manager Certificate and associated keys. 5. Enter and confirm a password, and then click Next. 34 Chapter 4 Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools (select models only)
