Back-up Copy of e-Cert on Smart ID Card
The e-Cert (and associated key pair) on smart ID card cannot be copied to other storage media. Hongkong Post Certification Authority offers an optional service to backup your smart ID card e-Cert on a floppy disk at the time you submit your e-Cert application. Each floppy disk costs HK$10. With the back-up copy, you can then import your e-Cert into the browser of your personal computer and access the e-Cert directly (if the smart card reader has not been installed yet). The backup e-Cert floppy disk will be delivered to your address by Recorded Delivery service.
Smart Card Reader
For instant access to the e-Cert on your smart ID card for e-transactions, your computer should be equipped with a suitable smart card reader.
