Using Digital Certificates for IKE Auto-Policy Authentication

Digital certificates are strings generated using encryption and authentication schemes that cannot be duplicated by anyone without access to the different values used in the production of the string. They are issued by Certification Authorities (CAs) to authenticate a person or a workstation uniquely. The CAs are authorized to issue these certificates by Policy Certification Authorities (PCAs), who are in turn certified by the Internet Policy Registration Authority (IPRA). The FVS114 is able to use certificates to authenticate users at the end points during the IKE key exchange process.

The certificates can be obtained from a certificate server that an organization might maintain internally or from the established public CAs. The certificates are produced by providing the particulars of the user being identified to the CA. The information provided may include the user's name, e-mail ID, and domain name.
