CERTIFICATES FOR SECURE FILES

Manage Certificate(s)
Note: The following is only applicable if you have received an NXP Secure Access Rights certificate before. When you gain access to a secure file, a certificate provided decrypts files for viewing when downloaded. You will receive an email which contains a certificate file which you will need to download and install. To install certificates, a password is needed (see section 6.2 for further explanation).
If you lose or delete this certificate, you may request a new certificate. In the case that your certificate is expired, you may also request a new certificate that will be generated and sent via email. In this case, files that were encrypted with a prior certificate cannot be decrypted with this new certificate. To retain access to the secure files, please keep your previous certificate installed.
