ECDSA Authentication Enable
: (SC only) Check this box to require authentication
using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) certificates and keys
(
)
.
Wireless authentication using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is an
optional feature. All Ellipse systems are pre-populated with signed trusted ECDSA keys.
Certificates for these keys can be purchased directly from Redline. End-users can also
load specific ECDSA certificate/key files.
This feature is enabled by installing an options key enabled for ECDSA authentication,
loading ECDSA certificates/key files and enabling AES encryption. Wireless
authentication is disabled by default.
Important
: When authentication is enabled, the base station and all subscribers must
use compatible settings. To enable the authentication, AES encryption must be enabled
and the unit certificate, authority certificate and keys must be loaded on the terminal.
See
Note:
Beginning with v3.00, ECDSA is the supported authentication method for RDL-
3000 wireless systems (replaces X.509).
SC MAC
: (SS only) This security feature can restrict the subscriber to registering only
with a single specified sector controller. Enter the MAC address of the sector controller
for this subscriber. The MAC address entered must be of the correct form using colon (:)
or dash (-) as separators. Entering a blank field or using an invalid format retains the last
setting.
Enter 00:00:00:00:00:00 to allow the remote unit to connect to any available sector
controller (e.g., RAS-Elite units using STID template to connect to multiple sector
controllers).
Apply
: Click to activate the security settings displayed on this screen.
Apply & Save All
: Click to activate and permanently save the security settings on this
screen. Saved settings are restored on power-up, reboot, or at the end of a test cycle.
