There are three main processes
for obtaining your ORC ECA Certificates. They are Online
Application, Identity Verification,
and Secure Online Certificate Delivery.
|
| |
|
| |
Online
Application |
| |
 |
IMPORTANT: Each Subscriber must perform the Online Application for themselves.
You may NOT make an Online Application for another individual. This is grounds for
immediate revocation of your certifcate. (And any fees paid will not be returned.)
You must use the
same work station you used for the online application
process,
when retrieving your certificate.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
By the end of the online application process you will have: trusted the U.S. Government ECA
Root and the ORC ECA Intermediate Certification Authority, generated a set of keys for
your certificate(s) and assigned a password to protect the private key, and printed a
customized, four page, certificate request form for each certificate
that you need.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
You will need a work station with a FIPS 140-1/2 Level 1 cryptographic compliant web browser. This
includes Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, Netscape 4.7 and above and Firefox 1.5 and above.

ORC recommends, that a back-up copy of your
Enrollment Private Key be made as soon as you
submit your request - see the Creating a Backup (Export) Copy
of your Enrollment Private Key instructions for the web application used during the
request process. ORC recommends that you create a back-up copy of your key pair once issued
- see the Creating a Backup (Export) Copy of Your Certificate.

system, or computer changes. If you need further assistance, please contact the help desk
