Client keys

This section describes the use of Client Keys. Client keys are used for enhanced authentication of clients when connecting to MFT Server. For example, you may specify that your service requires that the user provide both a password and private key during the authentication process in order to be granted access. This is more secure form of authentication than simple password authentication as it requires a secondary token (a private key) in addition to the password.  Client keys may also be used in the OFTP protocol for the purposes of message encryption and/or signature verification.
