1 Introduction

This document describes how to install MyID^®, including information on hardware and software requirements, preparing your system, upgrading existing systems, running the installation program, and getting your system up and running.

MyID delivers a range of system and security identity management functions. MyID controls card issuance, the day-to-day administration of smart cards and tokens, and supports PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) secured infrastructures.

PKI provides the basis upon which trust can be established between individuals and organizations. Secure deployment of PKI is heavily dependent on the ability of individuals to store and manage their private keys safely.

MyID provides additional components allowing integration with a range of Certificate Authorities. This enhances the security of an existing PKI by enabling the storage and management of digital identities and certificates using smart cards.
