title: What does "exporting private keys" mean ( Makecert -pe )?
body: <blockquote>
    <p>By  specifying a –pe switch ( using
    Makecert utility ) we make a private
    key exportable.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>a) What is it meant by <em>private key being  exportable</em>? That we can copy the created .pvk file ( containing private key ) to another system and use it there?  </p>
  
  <p>b) If so, then I assume .pvk is only created if private key is to be exported?! Thus, how do we use/obtain private key when we don't want to export it and thus don't specify <code>–pe</code> switch when creating a certificate?</p>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
