You can change the EBICS transport keys and the EBICS signature key for EBICS bank accesses in the application. This key change updates the protocol user keys for signature, authentication and encryption for all initialised bank accesses in one step.
A key change is necessary if, for example, the recommended security guidelines for key lengths change and your used keys do not meet the security guidelines or you change the signature procedure at a bank access.
If your financial institution has provided new EBICS keys, the application will inform you of this on the start page.
If you have created bank accesses that are not yet fully initialised, these bank accesses are reset by the key change. You must restart the initialisation for each of these bank accesses.
|
You must not interrupt the key change, as the key for your security medium is also changed during this process. In the event of an error, you may no longer be able to log in to the application. |
