Chapter 35 Certificates 5 Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny's public key to verify the message. The UAG uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection. For example, a VPN tunnel might use the triple DES encryption algorithm. The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the certification authority's public key to verify the certificates. A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate. The UAG does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked. Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates. A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL (Certificate Revocation List). The UAG can check a peer's certificate against a directory server's list of revoked certificates. The framework of servers, software, procedures and policies that handles keys is called PKI (public-key infrastructure). Advantages of Certificates Certificates offer the following benefits. • The UAG only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate. • Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys. Self-signed Certificates You can have the UAG act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates. Factory Default Certificate The UAG generates its own unique self-signed certificate when you first turn it on. This certificate is referred to in the GUI as the factory default certificate. Certificate File Formats Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats: • Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates. • PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form. • Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The UAG currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate. • PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.

Chapter 35 Certificates

UAG715 User’s Guide

395

Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny’s public key to

verify the message.

The UAG uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to

establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The

method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the

type of connection. For example, a VPN tunnel might use the triple DES encryption algorithm.

The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the

certification authority’s public key to verify the certificates.

A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate.

The UAG does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked.

Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates.

A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL

(Certificate Revocation List). The UAG can check a peer’s certificate against a directory server’s list

of revoked certificates. The framework of servers, software, procedures and policies that handles

keys is called PKI (public-key infrastructure).

Advantages of Certificates

Certificates offer the following benefits.

•

The UAG only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust,

no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.

•

Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you

never need to transmit private keys.

Self-signed Certificates

You can have the UAG act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates.

Factory Default Certificate

The UAG generates its own unique self-signed certificate when you first turn it on. This certificate is

referred to in the GUI as the factory default certificate.

Certificate File Formats

Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:

•

Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.

•

PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters,

uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.

•

Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital

signatures) that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The

private key is not included. The UAG currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that

contains a single certificate.

•

PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase

letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable

form.
