Hi,
for the certificate. If the certificate files should get stolen they
will be if no use without the password. And in any case, the cert can be
revoked as well.
Please correct me if I'm wrong: In my understanding, a stolen
certificate makes no danger at all. Without the private key, it is
useless. You can even post your certificates on usenet ;-)
But if, and only if, the private key gets stolen, then you have to
revoke the certificate on the CA.
Is that correct?
Rainer
True, but I guess my assumption was that if someone had access to steal
the cert from the end user pc, they could also steal the key.
