Certificates storage is designed to store and manage certificates through which incoming and outgoing messages are encrypted and decrypted. This kit is used for:
Installation of the Certificates storage begins with launching the installer file rcs_x86.msi (additionally, file rcs_x64.msi for Windows 64-bit, see details above). This opens a Windows OS security window, in which you must click Run.
Then the screen will display the Setup Wizard Welcome screen, where you should click Next (Fig. 2).
After that dialogs of preparation for installation will pop up on the screen as described in Table 1.
After a few seconds the program will be installed on the computer and a dialog will pop up (Fig. 4), where you need to click Finish.
As a result, several software components will be installed to the computer. In the process of configuration the user only works with MOEX EDS DSSK – hereinafter Certificates storag.
Since the Certificates storage interface only supports the Russian language, in the non-Russian language versions of Windows after the installation is complete, it is necessary to specify the localization of programs which do not support Unicode.
For operating systems, where regional settings differ from the Russian ones, the Certificates storage will not display correctly most of the inscriptions in the interface. In this connection, we recommend setting the Russian language as the basis for programs that do not support Unicode in the operating system settings. To do this:
The process of obtaining private and public client key (certificate) consists of two stages:
Organizational part
To work in the Web-client it is initially necessary to connect to the Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) system. To do this:
- sign an agreement about participation in the EDI system. To conclude a contract provide the Moscow Exchange with the following documents or certified copies thereof (list of documents obtained when connecting to EDC);
- conclude a contract for the provision of the Authorized organization services;
- execute and deliver an Application for the generation of electronic signature;
- pay for the EDI services;
- obtain from the Moscow Exchange a certificate of registration document and a CD disk, comprising of:
- software (MOEX EDS DSSK: Certificates storage, MOEX EDS DSSK: Java API);
certificate of registration with private key.
The key and the certificate of registration are not intended to provide security of the transmitted information. They will be added to the Certificates storage for the generation of the private and public key and creating of a request to issue a certificate for the Moscow Exchange. The key and the registration certificate are to be copied to the root folder on any external drive, such as a usb-stick. |
Once all the necessary documents are prepared, you can proceed to the technical part.
Technical part
Installing the certificate of registration
Certificate of registration are used for:
- generation of a profile;
generation of user's private and public key;
creation of a request to issue a public key certificate.
Depending where the certificate is stored (external hard drive or a computer), the order they are added to the Certificates storage and making a request will differ.
| If the key and the certificate of registration are stored on the user's computer | If the key and the certificate of registration are stored on an external drive |
---|
| During the first start a window will open informing you that you need to insert an external drive. As the key and the certificate of registration are located on your computer, skip this step and click Cancel | | Before you begin, insert an external drive in the usb-port on your computer, then run the Certificates storage. This opens a window where you will need to select device containing the key and certificate of registration (1) and click OK (2) | |
| During the initial connection the user only has a certificate of registration, so skip this step by clicking Cancel | | As a result the key and the certificate of registration will be added automatically. The screen will display a message containing information about the added files, where you need to click OK | |
| Next the storage will be automatically checked for the presence of a personal certificate. During the first start a personal certificate and copies of storagies are not available. Skip step by clicking No | | The certificate of registration will serve as a basis for creating a personal and local storage (profile). The personal storage is confirmed with an electronic signature using the registration key. The personal storage will display the certificate of Moscow Exchange, and the user’s registration certificate in Certificates of registration section | |
| Then the screen will sequentially display windows for selecting the certificate of registration, where you need to click OK and Yes respectively | | Next, a message will appear informing you that the personal storage is protected with the registration certificate. In this window you need to click OK to create private keys and make a request for their confirmation (see Generation of user keys and creating a request) | |
| The window for adding a certificate of registration will appear, where you need to select the certificate file and click Open. The registration key will be imported automatically (provided that it is next to a certificate, in the same folder) | | | |
| Next, the screen displays information about adding certificates of registration The certificate of registration will serve as a basis for creating a personal and local storage. The personal storage is confirmed with an electronic signature using the registration key. The personal storage will display the certificate of Moscow Exchange, and the user’s registration certificate under Certificate of registration Click OK to continue working in the storage | | | |
| Next, you will need to generate your public and private key and a request for their confirmation by the Moscow Stock Exchange by clicking OK If the registration certificate and keys are stored on the computer, the request and the private keys will be generated automatically
|

Generation of user keys and creating a request
Public and private key are created simultaneously with the request to the Certification Authority to issue a certificate. Keys cannot be used to protect information transmitted until they are certified by the Certification Authority (the Moscow Exchange). Therefore, a request is made for their confirmation, which contains information about the generated public key (Fig. 12) and information about the user, automatically added from the certificate of registration. The Moscow Exchange (CA) responds with an email containing certificate signed by the CA root certificate.
If the certificate of registration are stored on the computer, after step 7 in the table above, Certificates storage will automatically generate user's private and public keys and a request to issue a public key certificate (Fig. 12).
If the certificate of registration are stored on an external drive, to generate keys and make a request select the Справочник сертификатов (Certificates storage in the menu) (Fig. 11.1) → Сформировать запрос на получение сертификата (Generate certificate request) (Fig. 11.2), or click an icon on the toolbar.
Fig. 11 – generation of a request
In the Certificate request dialog box, click OK (Figure 12). This will open the Export files for the Registration Centers, where you should select a folder to which the request will be saved and click the Save button (Fig. 13).
Fig. 12 – request parameters Fig. 13 – export files
The resulting request (a *.pse file) needs to be compressed and sent to pki@moex.com, with a scanned and signed registration certificate (document) attached. The subject field should specify the name of the organization and the required scope of the certificate (for example, the Oblachnye Investitsii CJSC – exchange market EDI, stock market EDI). The Moscow Exchange will respond with a letter with an attached ZIP-file of the certificate. This certificate must be added to the Certificates storage.
The resulting certificate is valid only for the generated public and private key that is stored on the user's computer. Therefore, a certificate from the Moscow Exchange must be added to the Certificates storage installed on the same computer, where the certificate issue request was generated! |
