Using e-Cert on floppy disk/e-Cert File Card

If you have got an e-Cert on floppy disk/e-Cert File Card, you can choose to import the e-Cert into the Internet browser e.g. Internet Explorer (I.E.) of your PC for easy access to many online services. Many online services also accept the usage of e-Cert stored in Internet browsers.

A new tool is introduced to help you easily and conveniently import the e-Cert on floppy disk to I.E. certificate store with a few clicks. If you are using Netscape, please download the user guide for installation procedures.

The action will copy and store your e-Cert including private key there. Although unauthorized usage without your e-Cert password is not easily possible, such an act will increase the possible risk of Internet frauds.
