3 Introduction Content This user guide is intended for customers sending data to and from Nets via the Internet using the SFTP solution. To ensure that the servers that are communicating with each other in this solution are known parties, security keys must be exchanged between you and Nets. Key generation is carried out by you from a PC with a standard Internet browser. To gain access to the Web solution for key generation, you must be in receipt of a chip card issued by Nets and have a chip card reader installed in the equipment from which the key generation is to take place. For guidance and the necessary software, we refer you to the Guide to installation of chip card reader Cardman If you are a danish company with a CVR-number you also can use the Medarbejdersignatur from Nets DanID A/S. This guide gives a step-by-step explanation of how to generate your security keys for use in the SFTP solution. Instructions for the SFTP solution itself depend on the platform you use for the SFTP solution and can be found at - Select Support, Data communication, SFTP-løsning and then Download for SFTP-løsning. Rights All rights to this guide and the corresponding product belong to Nets Denmark A/S. Copying, forwarding or in any other manner making this material or parts thereof available to third parties without the consent of Nets is not permitted.

4 The private key Introduction The security of the solution consists of the exchange of security keys (private/public keys). You generate the private key yourself with the help of the activities described in this document. You must then copy your private key to the platform to be used for the SFTP communication. We refer you to your system supplier s specifications for copying and downloading security keys on these platforms. The public key will be issued from Nets SFTP server the first time you log on to it. On this point, we refer you to the user guidelines for your specific platform as well as your system supplier s specifications. Remark: To ensure proper use, you can only generate one key per day. If you have urgent needs for generating more keys, you can contact ServiceDesk in Nets. (refer to chapter Contact.) For security reasons you should exchange the key according to your own security policies. The way to generate a new key is as described below in the chapter Key generation. Security aspects concerning the private key Nets cannot be held responsible for the consequences of insufficiently secure storage of the keys issued to you. As mentioned earlier, we recommend that you change the key with regular intervals. You are responsible for ensuring that this corresponds with the security policy of your company and, if necessary, replacing keys at shorter intervals. We advise you to ensure that the keys and copies of them are only accessible to those who need them for their work. If you suspect that your key has been deciphered or for any other reason can no longer offer the security required, contact Nets immediately.
