When I activate key archival for a windows server 2003 CA, the private keys
are stored in the CA Database.

The private key is generated on the client an than transfered to the CA,
correct?

I'm asking myself how the transfer of the private key to the CA is secured?
Is the private key
encrypted with the public key of the CA?
