The 2012 version of the standard includes features for Secure Authentication Version 5. The previous version of secure authentication in IEEE 1815-2010 used pre-shared keys only. The new version is capable of using Public Key Infrastructure , and it facilitates remote key changes.
The latest version, 1.5, is available as RFC 2315. [1] An update to PKCS #7 is described in RFC 2630, [2] which was replaced in turn by RFC 3369, [3] RFC 3852 [4] and then by RFC 5652. [5] PKCS #7 files may be stored both as raw DER format or as PEM format.
After installation the software on the node is configured to act as a Certificate Authority (CA), Registration Authority (RA) or End-Entity Enrollment (EE) node. [4] [2]One client implementation is a web frontend that allows end-users to access the OpenXPKI system using a web browser, and a command line interface also available for system administrators. [5]
A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a system for the creation, storage, and distribution of digital certificates which are used to verify that a particular public key belongs to a certain entity. The PKI creates digital certificates which map public keys to entities, securely stores these certificates in a central repository and revokes them ...
In a typical public-key infrastructure (PKI) scheme, the certificate issuer is a certificate authority (CA), [3] usually a company that charges customers a fee to issue certificates for them. By contrast, in a web of trust scheme, individuals sign each other's keys directly, in a format that performs a similar function to a public key certificate.
Credential Management, also referred to as a Credential Management System (CMS), is an established form of software that is used for issuing and managing credentials as part of public key infrastructure (PKI). CMS software is used by governments and enterprises issuing strong two-factor authentication (2FA) to employees and citizens. The CMS ...
In fact, the term X.509 certificate usually refers to the IETF's PKIX certificate and CRL profile of the X.509 v3 certificate standard, as specified in RFC 5280, commonly called PKIX for Public Key Infrastructure (X.509). [4] An early issue with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and X.509 certificates was the well known "which directory" problem ...
The Enrollment over Secure Transport, or EST is a cryptographic protocol that describes an X.509 certificate management protocol targeting public key infrastructure (PKI) clients that need to acquire client certificates and associated certificate authority (CA) certificates. EST is described in RFC 7030.
