Certificates
This chapter explains how to use the
Certificates
.
51.1 Certificates Overview
The UAG can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based
on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public key.
Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
A Certification Authority (CA) issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate
owner. There are commercial certification authorities like CyberTrust or VeriSign and government
certification authorities. You can use the UAG to generate certification requests that contain
identifying information and public keys and then send the certification requests to a certification
authority.
