Decrypting mail requires the private key. The certificate is not

Thanks very much, I'm starting to understand this. One last question:
what's the difference between the export password and the password that
the system asks for when creating a key for which -des3 was specified?
Why doesn't the export just inherit/use the key encryption password?
This is

Hi, this doesn't seem to be happening. Doesn't the client need a
password to decrypt the private key or does the export create the
private key in cleartext? I can use the key without ever giving a

Clients typically ask you for the password when they import the PKCS#12 file.
They use that to decrypt the key and store

The pkcs12 export command seems to want both the certificate and the
private key to be able to create a certificate containing the private
key which the key owner can use to verify signatures and decrypt mail
signed and encrypted using his public key.

Hi, I see this option when I import but I don't understand something
more fundamental. Why doesn't the cert itself have any password

with no protection?
