x.509 Certificates
An x.509 certificate includes the format of the certificate, the serial number of the certificate, the algorithm used to sign the certificate, the name of the CA that issued the certificate, the name and public key of the entity requesting the certificate, and the CA's signature.x.509 certificates are used to authenticate the remote party against a Certificate Authority's (CA) certificate. The CA certificate must have signed the local certificates that are used for tunnel authentication. Certificates need to be uploaded into the CyberGuard SG appliance before a tunnel can be configured to use them (see Certificate Management).
