The SMS certificate password protects the private keys in the SMS certificate repository
with encryption. The SMS encrypts the private keys using a randomly generated 2048-bit
RSA key pair. The private key of this key pair is encrypted using a 256-bit AES cipher
based on your SMS certificate password.
Setting up the SMS certificate password is required when you import private keys into
the SMS certificate repository.
