Digital Certificate Manager

The Aloaha PDF Crypter is able to read the public key from certificates of the current user store, local admin store, and current user address book and from a folder on disk. If you need to use *.cer files there is no need to import them into one of the windows certificate stores. You can simply drop the *.cer file to the certdir subfolder of the Aloaha PDF Crypter installation directory. The path of the certdir can be reconfigured in HKCU\Software\Aloaha\crypter\certdir

Export the public key of a certificate as *.cer file

The easiest way to export a public key as *.cer file is to use the Certificate Manager included in Windows. To start the Certificate Manager run “certmgr.msc” from the windows Startmenu/Run.

To export the public key of a certificate please right click on it and choose All Tasks/Export. In the next dialog please choose "DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER)"
