We issue Digital Certificates:

We are providing a digital certificate primarily for our students' practice.  Our CA (Certification Authority) is the Center for E-Commerce and Information Systems.  To communicate with reasonably guaranteed authenticity and confidentiality, apply for your certificate.

Before applying for a certificate, please read the following first.  Please click here to get a digital certificate free from the Center for ECIS.  Enjoy!

• To communicate with the certificate issued by us, you need to retrieve the CA certificate and install it in your machine.  Once you have it, you are basically saying you trust the certificates issued from this CA.  You can view all the CAs (e.g., Verisign) you trust by going to Tools/Internet Options/Contents/Certificates/Trusted Root Certification Authorities on your Internet Explorer browser (Microsoft already included them on your machine).  You can always remove any CA from your system without any side effects. 
• After that, request a certificate.  You can apply for both web browser and email.  Provide the information about you.  Just choose default options.
• Check on a pending certificate.  It may take several days before you get the certificate approved.  Check from time to time.  If yours is available, install it on your machine. 

• Remember that this certificate system is using a pair of public and private keys.  Both you and your counterpart should have a certificate to conduct an encrypted communication.

** * Again, we provide this certificate to help you understand the concept of security on the Internet.  We don't take any responsibility on anything whatsoever. ***
