RSA Certificate Storage and Asymmetric Key
Storing certificates on a GoldKey token is much more secure than conventional
software-only methods. Because the private keys for certificates never leave the
GoldKey token, it is nearly impossible for attackers to steal your private keys.
Next Steps
Store Up to Four RSA Certificates
Each GoldKey token can store up to four RSA certificates and private keys without requiring
any additional software on Windows® 7 or Mac OS® X Snow Leopard. These certificates
can be used for user login, to encrypt files and emails, or to digitally sign documents all
without ever allowing the private keys to be copied out of the GoldKey Token.
Each GoldKey token stores
multiple certificates, provides
maximum hardware-based
protection for your private
keys, and can be used on
any computer.
Use GoldKey on Multiple Computers
Another benefit of having private keys for your certificates stored in your GoldKey
token is that it allows you to use certificate-based security on multiple computers
without ever putting the private key at risk of being lost or stolen.
Expanded Certificate Storage
If you need expanded certificate storage, a customized GoldKey solution can provide large RSA-2048 keys and up
to 24 different certificates. It can also support ECC Curves P-256 and P-384, an asymmetric encryption alternative to
RSA containing stronger encryption and shorter key sizes.
