When you download the directory for the first time, you will be led through a series of prompts to generate a new web site certificate. The certificate ensures that encryption is employed to protect the file during transmission to your browser. The certificate does not authenticate your identity or the identity of the Federal Reserve’s server. If you indicate that you will accept the certificate, you will be able to download the directory.
