Uploading your business certificate

In order to communicate with Digipost in a secure manner, you must sign your messages with an enterprise certificate. An enterprise certificate includes both a private and public key. The private key is used to sign messages. You are responsible for storage of this private key. The public key is uploaded to Digipost and is used by the Digipost solution to verify the signature of the message.

Digipost supports two types of certificates. You can either buy an enterprise certificate from Buypass and upload it to Digipost or you can let Digipost generate a certificate for you. You can use the Digipost generated certificate to sign your requests when using our rest api. For other services and where full non-repudiation is required, a certificate from Buypass is required.

To generate a Digipost certificate or upload a Buypass certificate, go to your Digipost organisation account. Then choose “Integrasjon” > “Enkeltutsendelser” > “Instillinger for enkeltutsendelser”. You can then choose to either generate or upload a certificate based on your needs.
