Initializing your smart card and creating a recovery file
Caution
1-12
If you wish to define another location for the recovery file, click on ... to select
another directory.
Then enter the name of the recovery file and the password to prevent
unauthorized access to the file.
The recovery file allows you to create a duplicate smart card to access and decrypt
the files in your Secure folder should you lose your original smart card or it gets
damaged. For security reasons it is not recommended that you store this file on your
OmniBook hard disk. A safe place would be on a floppy disk.
It is also important that you do not forget the password for the recovery file. If this
happens, you will be unable to use your recovery file.
6 Click OK when you are done.
The encryption key is now generated and stored on your smart card and in the
recovery file. You can now use your smart card to encrypt files.
