Relation between .p7b and .spc digital certificate files
- by Frederick
My company have just renewed their digital certificate from Thawte. The previous certificate I was using had an 'spc' extension. The new certificate I've been handed ends in a 'p7b'.
Although I can use this p7b file directly for signing, I was just wondering whether there's some way to convert this to an spc file which I can then sign with as I was doing previously.
Is it a recommended practice to use p7b directly for signing? Secondly, what exactly is the relation, if any, between the two types of files?
