I want to know where the Certificates are located on the hard drive or on the store, the certificates are stored so that i can migrate those certificates from WinXP to Windows 7 (which has IE 9.0 installed). The sole purpose is to migrate the above certiificates from source to destination machine.
- You may view your Digital Certificate store by: For MS Internet Explorer Users: 1. Open your MS Internet Explorer 2. Click on the Tools menu 3. From the drop down list select Internet Options 4. Click the Content tab 5. Click the Certificates button.
- Choice between New PKCS#12 Digital ID File and Windows Certificate Store. If you are on Mac OS, you won’t see these options, so you can skip this step.

- Creating a New Digital ID. If you purchase a digital ID from a third-part Certificate Authority, you should not need to create a digital ID in Revu. Create Digital ID in Windows Certificate Store: Creates a digital ID in the Windows Certificate Store. It is protected by the user's Windows login.
- Create Digital ID in Windows Certificate Store: Creates a digital ID in the Windows Certificate Store. It is protected by the user's Windows login. It is protected by the user's Windows login. Note: Since it relies on a user's Windows login credentials, Windows Certificate Store is not recommended for environments with shared login credentials.
Once you make a digital certificate or create a Personal Information Exchange (PFX) file, it must be imported into the Windows Certificate Store before it can be used to sign an AutoLISP or verify a digitally signed binary file. You import a digital certificate or PFX file from the Windows user interface with the Certificate Manager (CertMgr.msc) from the Control Panel or at the Windows Command prompt with the Certification Utility (CertUtil.exe) tool.
The Certification Utility (CertUtil.exe) tool is part of the Windows operating system. You can learn more about the CertUtil.exe tool from Microsoft's website (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732443.aspx).
Note: A digital certificate can also be imported using the Certificates dialog box from the Internet Options dialog box in Internet Explorer.

When deploying binary files that have been signed with your certificate, you can import your certificate using a custom action in a MSI installer or with a batch (BAT) file using Group Policies.
The following is an example of importing a CER file into the Trusted Publishers store with the CertUtil.exe tool. The CER file that is in this example was made with the example in the 'To Make a Digital Certificate' topic:
- certutil.exe - Specifies the location of the CertUtil.exe tool. In most cases, no path should be required since the tool is located in the Windows System32 folder.
- -addstore - Indicates that the provided certificate should be added to the specified store.
- TrustedPublisher - Specifies the store in which the certificate should be added. In this example, the store is named Root.

A digital ID enables you to send digitally signed messages using Microsoft Outlook. A digital ID—also known as a digital certificate—helps prove your identity and helps prevent message tampering to protect the authenticity of an email message. You also can encrypt messages for greater privacy.
Note: A digital signature isn’t the same as a message signature, which is a customizable salutation. A digital signature adds unique code to a message that only comes from the digital ID held by the true sender.

An appropriate certificate for cryptographic messaging (such as digital signing) might state, for example, 'Protects email messages.'
- Select the Send these certificates with signed messages check box unless you'll be sending and receiving signed messages only within your organization.Note: The settings that you choose become the default when you send cryptographic messages. If you don’t want these settings to be used by default for all cryptographic messages, clear the Default Security Setting for this cryptographic message format check box.
Step 3: Add a recipient's digital ID to your Contacts
To send and receive encrypted email messages, both the sender and the receiver must share their digital ID certificates with each other.
