3DES
|
Triple DES encryption/decryption algorithm
|
|
Base64
|
Method used to encode certificate requests and certificates
before they are sent to or from the CA
|
|
CA
|
Certificate authority; an organization that creates digital
certificates
|
|
Certificate
|
Binds a person or entity to a public key using a digital signature
|
|
CRL
|
Certificate revocation list; a list of certificates that a CA
has revoked
|
|
ESP
|
Encapsulating Security Payload; provides data integrity, data
confidentiality and, optionally, sender's authentication
|
|
IKE
|
Internet Key Exchange
|
|
PKCS
|
Public-Key Cryptography Standards; a series of standards established
by RSA Laboratories
|
|
PKCS10
|
PKCS #10; describes a syntax for certification requests
|
|
Root CA
|
CA that signs the certificates of subordinate CAs
|
|
Root certificate
|
Self-signed public key certificate for a root CA; root certificates
are used to verify other certificates
|
|
RSA
|
Rivest-Shamir-Adleman encryption algorithm
|
|
SA
|
Security association; the set of security parameters that dictate
how IPSec processes a packet, including encapsulation protocol and
session keys. A single secure tunnel uses multiple SAs.
|
|
SCEP
|
Simple certificate enrollment protocol; used to submit requests
and to download certificates and CRLs
