Send Feedback

Microsoft® Windows® CE public key-based services and applications require a digital certificate. This certificate, and its associated private key, establishes a trusted identity for an entity using the public key-based services and applications. Certificate enrollment is the process of acquiring a digital certificate from a certificate authority. Certificate enrollment involves a client and a certificate authority. The client is responsible for initiating the enrollment request and with providing all the necessary information to the certificate authority. The certificate authority is responsible for validating the request and issuing a certificate.
