New IHO S63 1.1 Public Key for ECDIS

How to Install a New IHO Certificate in 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.

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.
