I've been told by a former US West security principal (but
have not verified for myself), that MS Windoze NT encrypts
the private key for CLIENT-SIDE certificates using one's
NT password and this encrypted private key is stored
somewhere in the NT registry.
Perhaps the same is true of private keys for SERVER-SIDE
certs for IIS. At least one would *hope* that something
like this is the case and it's not being stored in
cleartext, but with M$, one never knows.
