Certs 'R' Us
This site demonstrates the process of logging in to a website using an SSL client certificate (and the corresponding private key.)
If you haven't already done so, you should probably read the accompanying blog post:
"Passwords are past it - are certificates the key to better online security?"
Take the demo
- OPTIONAL: Get a 'proper' SSL client certificate from a certificate authority (CA)
- Sign up with a certificate (a demo one will be generated for you if necessary, or you can present your own)
- Log in using that certificate
