AS2 Certificates

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a query with regards to AS2 Encryption and Decruption certificates.

Normally for an inbound scenario, we use our certificate to decrypt the message and sign the message.

We also send our certificates to customer so that they can encrypt the message before sending it to us.

I am confused with the certificates.

1. Is there two certificates called public and private? or is it just one certificate which is used both for encryption and decryption.

Looking at my scenario i have forward one certificate to customer who will encrypt and the same certificate is used at our side to decrypt.

Is this right or do we have any additional certificates for decryption?

Regards

there is always a pair which gets generated. One is .cer which is a public key and another .p12 which is a private key. Assume this might be right
