Configuring HTTPS

Certificates, Key Rings, and Trusted Points

HTTPSuses components of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)to establish secure communications between
twodevices, such as a client's browser and Cisco UCS Manager.
Encryption Keys and Key Rings
EachPKI device holds a pair of asymmetric Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption keys, one kept private
andone made public, stored in an internal key ring. A message encrypted with either key can be decrypted
withthe other key. To send an encrypted message, the sender encrypts the message with the receiver's public
key,and the receiver decrypts the message using its own private key. A sender can also prove its ownership
ofa public key by encrypting (also called 'signing') a known message with its own private key. If a receiver
cansuccessfully decrypt the message using the public key in question, the sender's possession of the
correspondingprivate key is proven. Encryption keys can vary in length, with typical lengths from 512 bits
