Certificates

Digital certificates are encrypted files containing private keys that are verified against a chain of trust that is known to the br/owser. PKI certificates are optional for Vendors and required for government personnel. Due to infrastructure limitations, a government user is permitted to use a user ID/password to log on to the system, while awaiting receipt of his/her PKI certificate.

In PIEE signing documents as a user that is logged in with a User ID and Password will now be required to enter a self-defined 6 digit pin and a One Time Password delivered via E-Mail, alternatively if the user is having issues receiving the OTP via E-Mail they may also setup a OTP on their mobile device. Instructions for both will follow.
