Certificate Request Process
In this process:

site, the Verifone CA determines the required certificate structure.
3 Verifone CA generates the following items for the sponsor:
a Smart card containing a set of certificates and private key.
b Smart card PIN.
4 Verifone CA sends the smart card and smart card PIN to the sponsor.
5 The sponsor uses the smart card and smart card PIN as inputs for the
deployment process.
