You can click a key number to generate keys, copy and paste signed certificates:
You can view, copy and paste keys into the two windows. You should backup your private
key and save in a secure place. Each private key and public key pair must match to be able to
work properly.
If you plan to generate new keys, click on the drop down box above the private key window
to select the “use newly generated” item with the desired key length, and then click on the
“Submit” button. This process is also known as “generating a CSR”—Certificate Signing
Request. It is the process where you generated a key pair and send the public key to the CA
for “signing.” Once your public key signed and pasted into the key management screen, all
the browsers over Internet will accept it without complaint during the lifetime assigned to the
key. You can visit www.thawte.com
