SHA1 Fingerprint

This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyXEL Device calculated using

the SHA1 algorithm. You cannot use this value to verify that this is the remote

host’s actual certificate because the ZyXEL Device has signed the certificate;

thus causing this value to be different from that of the remote host’s actual

certificate. See

Section 14.3 on page 164

for how to verify a remote host’s

certificate before you import it into the ZyXEL Device.

Certificate in PEM

(Base-64) Encoded

Format

This read-only text box displays the certificate or certification request in Privacy

Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. PEM uses 64 ASCII characters to convert the

binary certificate into a printable form.
You can copy and paste the certificate into an e-mail to send to friends or

colleagues or you can copy and paste the certificate into a text editor and save

the file on a management computer for later distribution (via floppy disk for

example).

Export

Click this button and then Save in the File Download screen. The Save As

whether or not you want the ZyXEL Device to check the CRL that the

certification authority issues before trusting a certificate issued by the

certification authority.
