Certificate and Key Generation

The xSenso can generate self signed certificates and their corresponding keys. This can be done for both the rsa and dsa certificate formats. Certificates can be identified on the xSenso by a name provided at generation time.

Table 16-5 Certificate and Key Generation Settings

Certificate Generation

Description

Settings

 

Country (2 Letter Code)

Enter the 2-letter country code to be assigned to the new self-signed

 

certificate.

 

Examples: US for United States and CA for Canada

 

 

State/Province

Enter the state or province to be assigned to the new self-signed certificate.

 

 

Locality (City)

Enter the city or locality to be assigned to the new self-signed certificate.

 

 

Organization

Enter the organization to be associated with the new self-signed certificate.

 

 

Organization Unit

Enter the organizational unit to be associated with the new self-signed

 

certificate.

 

 

Common Name

Enter the common name to be associated with the new self signed

 

certificate, preferrably matching the host name or the ip address of the

 

device, whichever will be the intended access approach. This is a required

 

field.

 

 

Expires

Enter the expiration date, in mm/dd/yyyy format, for the new self-signed

 

certificate.

 

Example: An expiration date of May 9, 2012 is entered as 05/09/2012.

 

 

Key length

Select the bit size of the new self-signed certificate. Choices are:

 

512 bits

 

768 bits

 

1024 bits

 

2048 bits

 

The larger the bit size, the longer it takes to generate the key.

 

 

Type

Select the type of key:

 

RSA = Public-Key Cryptography algorithm based on large prime

 

numbers, invented by Rivest Shamir and Adleman. Used for encryption

 

and signing.

 

DSA = Digital Signature Algorithm also based on large prime numbers,

 

but can only be used for signing. Developed by the US government to

 

avoid the patents on RSA.
