Your digital certificate resides on the computer where you use it to encrypt and decrypt your .zip files. To ensure you are able to use your certificate after replacing or repairing your computer, you must make sure you have a protected backup of your digital certificate, including your certificate’s private key. On UNIX and Linux make sure you include your “certificates.db” files with your routine system backup steps. On Windows make sure you backup your Windows Certificate Store that is maintained within the Windows registry.
