Certs and private keys
Certificates are used to prove ownership of a public key. They contain information about
the key, its owner’s ID, and the digital signature of an individual that has verified the
content of the certificate.
In asymmetric cryptography, public keys are announced to the public, and a different
private key is kept by the receiver. The public key is used to encrypt the message, and
the private key is used to decrypt it.
To access certs and private keys, in the top menu, click System -> Administration.
The Administration page appears. Scroll down to the Certs & Private Keys section.
Figure 17: The certificates & private keys section
This section allows you to upload any certificates and keys that you may have stored.
There is support for IPSec, OpenVPN and VA certificates and keys.
If you have generated your own SSH public keys, you can input them in the SSH Keys
section, for SSH public key authentication.
