Key Store Settings

This page is used to configure the Key Store Settings where the key will be stored once generated through Go>Sign Desktop.

The configuration items are as follows:

Item	Description
Client Type Settings	Go>Sign Desktop Go>Sign Applet is gradually being affected by restrictions in browsers such as Chrome and Edge. So Ascertia has developed a new Go>Sign Desktop application as a replacement to Go>Sign Applet. Go>Sign Desktop application must be installed on end users machines locally, it works with any HTML5 browser using JavaScript interactions. Go>Sign Desktop offers the same functionality as Go>Sign Applet. Go>Sign Applet Go>Sign Applet is a client-side digital signature solution. It has been designed to make client-side digital signatures easy to implement and use. The Go>Sign Applet used for creating signature using locally-held signing keys (e.g. on a smartcard / secure USB token or a software file accessed through Windows CAPI or PKCS#11 layer). It is also capable of generating key pair and certificate signing requests (PKCS#10) which can be certified by ADSS Server.
Keystore Settings	OS native API Select the radio button if you want to generate the key in OS keystore.   Note: Only the MS CAPI keystore is supported for OS Native API key generation at this time. Also ECDSA Key generation is not supported in MS CAPI Keystore PKCS#11 Settings Select this option if you want to generate the key in a hardware (PKCS#11) device (token, HSM). Once the key is generated in a hardware device then a PKCS#10 (certificate request) is composed and sent to the ADSS Certification service or RA Service for certification and the certificate is generated accordingly.
