Description

Component

The Serial Number, which is expressed in Base 16 notation, is assigned by the SKM
and used internally to refer to a certificate signed by a local CA. There is only one
counter on the SKM, which means that all serial numbers for certificates signed by
local CAs will be in numerical order regardless of which local CA signed the certificate.
For example, a certificate signed by one local CA might get the serial number 0x7.
The next certificate signed by a local CA on the SKM would get the serial number
0x8, regardless of which local CA signed it. The first certificate in the list of signed
certificates is always the local CA itself, which always has a serial number of 0x0.

Signed Certificate Information

After you display the certificates signed by a particular CA, you can view the certificate information
for that certificate by selecting a certificate and clicking Properties. Such information includes the
serial number, key size, expiration date, issuer, and subject. In addition, the PEM encoded x.509
certificate can be used to install the certificate if necessary.
