New IHO S63 1.1 Public Key for ECDIS
Please refer to below general Public Key installation information as well as attached Furuno specific
info for installation of new IHO S63 1.1 Public Key for ECDIS.
How to Install a New IHO Certificate in ECDIS.
The current IHO certificate, which holds the public key for the S-63 decryption, is due to expire in
August 2013. The IHO has recently released a new certificate, which is valid until 2033. To obtain this
new certificate it is recommended to visit the IHO website and download the file ‘New IHO Certificate
Expires 2033’.
Extract the IHO.CRT file from the downloaded ZIP file and store the IHO.CRT on a
removable media (e.g. USB Drive) in order to transfer it into ECDIS. S-63 Edition 1.0 CDs have a
certificate stored on the CD itself, so the IHO.CRT stored in ECDIS is not needed for S-63 Edition 1.0
charts.
S-63 Edition 1.1 Media will not have a certificate on the media. For S-63 Edition 1.1 the IHO.CRT file
stored in the ECDIS will be used. If the stored IHO.CRT has expired a warning will be generated during
the import of S-63 charts, but the import will proceed anyhow.
