Step 5: Install Your Provisional Identity Certificate

Congratulations! Your public key was signed by the Certification Authority, and so you now have authoritative attestation to your claim of identity. 

Now you'll need to install your provisional identity certificate in your computer or your smart card, usb drive or other device. 

The certificate itself can be shared with anyone, so it need not be in a particularly secure place. However, your certificate is of little use without your control of its corresponding private key, and so need to install your private key in a secure place, protected by a strong password.  Your computer's operating system knows how to secure private keys.
