API

Application program interface.

Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)

A standard means of describing a message that can be sent over a network. Two ISO standards deﬁne ASN.1 syntax (ISO 8824/ITU X.208) and encoding rules (ISO 8825/ITU X.209) for applications using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) framework.

Add-in modules

Shared libraries that when attached to the Common Security Services Manager provide cryptography services (these are called CSPs), certiﬁcate library services (CLs), data storage libraries (DLs), and trust policy libraries (TPs).

Certiﬁcate Authority (CA)

A trusted party that creates and issues certiﬁcates (electronic identities) to users and “signs” certiﬁcates with their private key. A Certiﬁcate Authority attests to the legitimacy of the user by the certiﬁcate signing action.

Typically, a CA will require additional proof of identity before signing a user’s certiﬁcate, such as a birth certiﬁcate or driver’s license.

Certiﬁcate Library Services (CL)

A module that performs operations on digital certiﬁcates. Each certiﬁcate library has knowledge of one or more speciﬁc certiﬁcate formats. Certiﬁcate libraries perform the following operations: signing and signature veriﬁcation of certiﬁcates; management of certiﬁcate ﬁelds; export and import of multiple certiﬁcate formats. The HP-UX implementation of CDSA supports X.509v3 certiﬁcates and X.509v2 certiﬁcate revocation lists (CRLs).

Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA)

An open cross-platform, interoperable and extensible software framework consisting of APIs designed to make computers more secure for applications such as electronic commerce, communications, and digital content. CDSA provides an infrastructure for managing the various security-related services embodied in existing security standards.
