Local key management

4. Key name and timeout – Give the key an appropriate name and also select the

inactivity timeout for the key from the drop-down menu. The inactivity timeout

defines how long a key can remain unused in memory. When the timeout is

reached, you’ll need to authenticate before you can access encrypted documents

again. When ready, click Next > to continue.

5. Create random input – Move the mouse and/or type the keyboard in a random

manner to create a good random input to the key to be created. When ready, click

Next > to continue.

6. Summary page – This page shows a summary of the key creation just finished.

You will find the parameters you could change listed, among some other

information that you cannot change. Click Next > to continue.

7. Logon to Endpoint Encryption – You may be asked to authenticate to Endpoint

Encryption before you can complete the wizard. The reason is that you need to

access the corporate recovery key that will be used when you create your key

store. The corporate recovery key provides for a recovery mechanism such that

you can recover your local keys if you, for example, forget your password. If you

create a key in an existing key store, then you may also need to enter the

password (or certificate PIN code) for the existing key store before you can

complete the wizard. This is all due to security.

8. Completion page – This page completes the wizard. Click Finish to close the

wizard.

Ensure you give your encryption keys unique names, ideally reflecting the purpose of

the key, e.g. My Private Key, Mail Key, Project X Key, etc. The system allows keys to

have identical names, therefore, lack of a proper naming convention may cause

confusion as to what key to use, and more importantly - what keys can safely be

deleted.

Delete Local Key…

You may delete encryption keys that are no longer used or that have been mistakenly

created. Remember, be very careful when deleting encryption keys. A deleted

encryption key cannot be recovered. Consequently, documents encrypted with a

deleted key can never again be opened.
