Public Key Infrastructure at Vattenfall

Vattenfall now offers its commercial and private customers the possibility of sending encrypted messages to Vattenfall employees. Vattenfall IT Infrastructure Services operates an applications environment for this purpose on behalf of Vattenfall, which allows all e-mail participants in the Vattenfall group to send and receive encrypted messages. The Vattenfall Group operates a common Public Key Infrastructure ("Vattenfall PKI") that provides personal certificates based on X.509 v.3 standard for all employees ("Vattenfall Certificates"). Public certificate directory Vattenfall offers a directory of issued certificates for searching the public key of a Vattenfall employee by its e-mail address. To do so, please follow the instructions below.

  • Insert the exact e-mail address in the searching field.
  • Begin the search by clicking the search-button
  • If a suitable entry exists, the public key is offered to you.
  • Download the public key to your computer and embed it into your e-mail programme.
  • Alternatively you can download the public key in vCard format and import it directly into Microsoft Outlook as a contact.
