Overview

From an end-user's perspective, DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Assistant is a cross-platform desktop application that you can use to manage keys and certificates in your local computer. You can store both keys and certificates in built-in operating system storage or in various vendors’ hardware tokens.

It provides typical operations like key/CSR generation, the import or export of certificates with or without private keys, generates signatures and deletes data from the certificate store and PIN operations (verify, change, and reset) for hardware tokens. It can also obtain Slot Information for each key storage, reading information such as the storage name, token details, and available mechanisms.

Additionally, DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Assistant supports post-processing scripts, which facilitate the integration of third-party applications for certificate consumption after successful certificate enrollment and renewal operations.
