Important Note:

Effective 1 January 2011, we will no longer support any Certificate Signing Request [CSR] generated with a 1024 bit key. This is because NIST, PKIX, WebTrust and other respective security standards no longer consider the 1024 bit key size as secure. Read more > [1]

  • SSL Certificate Signing request. It includes the details that you submitted on the previous step. Use this request to get an SSL certificate from Digi-Sign.


  • SSL Server Private Key. This is the secret key to decrypt messages from your visitors. It must be stored in a secure place where it is inaccessible to others. Don't lose this key; you will need it if you get a permanent certificate.


  • Temporary SSL Certificate. It validates your identity and confirms the public key to assure the visitors that they are communicating with your server, not any other party.


6. Copy the signing request and private key for later use.
