New private key storage requirements

On May 30, 2023, DigiCert updated our private key storage requirements for code signing certificate private keys, per industry standards. All private keys must be stored on hardware certified as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent.

For more information, see our knowledge base articles:

PASO 1: Generar una nueva CSR (opcional)

  • Organization validation

    • Code signing certificate renewals: Ensure the organization with which you associate your code signing (CS) certificate has been validated for CS-Code Signing Organization Validation.

    • EV code signing certificate renewals: Ensure the organization with which you associate your EV code signing certificate is validated for EV CS-Code Signing Organization Extended Validation.

  • Domain validation for code signing certificate renewals

    When adding an email address as the subject of your certificate, the email must include a validated domain assigned to the organization in your order. Only validated domains appear on the order form.

    For example, if you want to add john.doe@example.com, make sure example.com has been validated. See out domain prevalidation instructions.

  • Hardware security module (HSM)

    Are you installing your code signing certificate on an HSM device?

    Requerido: La plataforma Sun Java es la única que exige que envíe una CSR.

      • SafeNet eToken 5110 CC (940) for RSA 4096-bit and ECC P-256-bit key certificates.

      • SafeNet eToken 5110 FIPS for ECC P-256-bit key certificates.

      • SafeNet eToken 5110+ FIPS for RSA 4096-bit and ECC P-256-bit key certificates.

      • SafeNet eToken 5110+ CC (940B) for ECC P-256-bit key certificates.

      • SafeNet eToken 5110+ CC (940C) for RSA 4096-bit and ECC P-256-bit key certificates.

      Aviso

      You must have a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or Common Criteria EAL4+ compliant device. You can’t install the certificate on any device not on the list.

      Need an approved token?

      Select DigiCert-provided hardware token to have DigiCert send a token to you. If you have questions, contact DigiCert Support.

    • Install on HSM

      When DigiCert issues your certificate, install it on the HSM where you generated the private key and CSR.

      Select Yes under Was the private key generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ standard or FIPS 140-2 level 2 HSM?

      We send the requester an agreement email. This email ensures that a private key is stored on an HSM certified as FIPS 140-2 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent. DigiCert issue the certificate when the requester agrees to the private key protection requirement.

      Aviso

      You must have a FIPS 140-2 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+, or equivalent hardware security module (HSM) that supports at least 3072-bit keys.

      Don't have a compatible HSM?

      Select a different provisioning method. If you have any questions contact DigiCert Support.
