Importing Addressee Certificates

To send encrypted e-mail from within Clinical to someone in the Clinical Address Book, you need to obtain copies of that person's public keys. These can be obtained from the Certificates Australia web site or directly from the person that you wish to send to. They are usually distributed as pairs of certificate files with the '.CRT' file extension. One of the files contains the Encryption key, which allows you to encrypt e-mail so that only that person can decrypt it. The other contains the Signature key, which is used to verify that an e-mail was digitally signed by that person. It is not usually possible to tell which key is in each certificate file from the filename.

MedicalDirector Clinical does not currently use the Signature key, but we recommend that you always obtain and install both keys, as we plan to implement this feature in the near future.
