Security
The GW PN/ASCII... includes several security options for device authentication. It is
possible to configure the GW PN/ASCII.... so that only authorized client applications can
connect using SSL/TLS. For secure operation, the GW PN/ASCII... uses a set of three keys
and certificates. These keys and certificates are configurable.
To configure security settings:
1.
From the “LAN Settings” page, click the “Security” tab.
Figure 3-5
“LAN Settings/Security” page
2.
Configure the GW PN/ASCII... so that only authorized client applications can connect
using SSL/TLS.
For secure operation, the GW PN/ASCII... uses a set of four keys and certificates.
These keys and certificates may be configured.
RSA Key pair used by SSL and SSH servers:
This is a private/public key pair that is
used for two purposes:
–
It is used by some cipher suites to encrypt the SSL/TLS handshaking messages.
Possession of the private portion of this key pair allows an eavesdropper to decrypt
traffic on SSL/TLS connections that use RSA encryption during handshaking.
–
It is used to sign the RSA server certificate in order to verify that the
GW PN/ASCII... is authorized to use the RSA server identity certificate.
If the RSA server key is to be replaced, a corresponding RSA identity certificate must
also be generated and uploaded, or clients cannot verify the identity certificate.
RSA Server Certificate used by SSL servers
: This is the RSA identity certificate that
the GW PN/ASCII... uses during SSL/TLS handshaking to identify itself. It is used most
frequently by SSL server code in the GW PN/ASCII... when clients open connections to
the GW PN/ASCII... secure web server or other secure TCP ports. If a GW PN/ASCII...
serial port configuration is set up to open (as a client) a TCP connection to another
server device, the GW PN/ASCII... also uses this certificate to identify itself as an SSL
client if requested by the server.
In order to function properly, this certificate must be signed using the RSA server key.
This means that the RSA server certificate and RSA server key must be replaced as a
pair.
Possession of the private portion of this key pair allows others to pose as the
GW PN/ASCII....
