IMPORTING A DIGITAL CERTIFICATE INTO THE IRONKEY 

The IronKey Cryptochip includes a limited amount of extremely secure hardware storage space,

which can be used for storing the private key associated with a digital certicate. This provides

you with additional strong authentication capabilities. For example, you could store a self-signed

certicate used for internal systems that will allow you to automatically log in when using the

IronKey’s onboard Firefox web browser.

The import process uses IronKey’s PKCS#11 interface and requires Mozilla Firefox. Note that

there is only space for one additional private key in the IronKey Cryptochip, though that key

will receive the security benets of the Cryptochip’s tamperproof hardware and self-destruct

mechanisms.

Step Description

1 Open the onboard Firefox Click on the icon in the IronKey Control Panel’s applica-

tion list on your user’s device.
