I.CA SecureStore

The I.CA SecureStore application is a standalone application in two versions, one for Windows and one for OS X. The application has the following basic functions:

• generating a key pair up to 2048 bits on the card simultaneously with the creation of the corresponding request for a certificate of the selected type (commercial, qualified),
• importing the issued certificate to the card - the issued certificate in DER format is stored on the card in the appropriate storage for the key pair,
• importing certificates of communication partners and root certificates of supported CAs,
• working with certificates stored on the smart card and managing the storage on the card - including deleting and importing certificates,
• - PIN management - PIN change (a new PIN can be set using the old PIN), PIN unblocking (additional PIN entry attempts can be obtained by entering the PUK),
• card space usage monitoring (card lifetime is not checked by the application),
• use of free card space for storing arbitrary files. Storage for free space can be selected in two variants:
  • unsecured, which is freely accessible,
  • secured, which is accessible only after entering the PIN for this storage. This storage is suitable, for example, for password management.

Features only available in the Windows version:

• Certificate registration to Windows - installs the certificate into Windows stores so that it is accessible by certificate services in the Windows environment,
• mark the storage used for Windows SmartCard Logon.
