When you use a USB token to store your Digital Certificate, a copy of the public key is also maintained in the Certificate Store of the Internet Explorer browser on your computer. When performing a signing operation, SafeDoXX for Safe EXIM looks into this certificate store for your private key and finds only your public key there. However, along with the public key there will also be information about the location of your private key and that it is in the USB Token. SafeDoXX for Safe EXIM then sends the message digest to the USB Token where the private key is used for the signing operation.
