Target of VSUA

Targets use Issuer Certificates to authenticate Signed Certificates they receive. The Issuer Certificate must be from the same PKI System that created the Signed Certificate. Issuer Certificates are stored on targets.

Explanation for Figure 78:

1.A Certificate Request from VSUA is sent to a PKI System to be signed.

2.The PKI uses the Certificate Request to create a Signed Certificate specifically for VSUA. The Signed Certificate is then stored on VSUA.

3.Every target of VSUA must have VSUA’s Signed Certificate.

Note:

The target uses an Issuer Certificate to authenticate VSUA’s Signed Certificate. The Issuer Certificate must be from the same PKI which created the VSUA’s Signed Certificate.

Installing an issuer certificate

Use the Policy Manager for installing Issuer Certificates in a specific VSU. The VSU then uses the Issuer Certificate to authenticate certificates received from other VSUs.

The process is explained in Figure 78.

To install an Issuer Certificate into a VSU (target):

1.Get an Issuer Certificate from a PKI System. Use the same PKI System that created the Signed Certificate.

2.The PKI System must use the Distinguishing Encoding Rules (DER) format for creating the Issuer Certificate. Figure 79 shows what a certificate looks like (its body has been shortened for the example).
