<div>
about 2 weeks ago I had to format and re-install the OS (Windows 8) due to unknown problem. <br />
<br />
Could that be the reason I can not install the certificate I got from Verisign? I got this certificate before the system crashed.
</div>


<div>
The problem is the machine re-install. I need to revoke an replace the certificate.<br />
Thanks for the help.

I've purchased a certificate from Verisign for code signing.<br />
I've installed the certificate.<br />
The certificate appears under the 'Other People' in the store.<br />
<br />
When trying to export the certificate, the .pfx option is grayed out.<br />
What do I need to do to enable export to .pfx format?

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
