Certificates

Overview

NOTE: The SA7100/
SA7120 supports only one
root CA certificate per
mapping. However,
multiple intermediate CA
certificates per single
mapping are supported.

Four types of certificates are involved in the following discussion:

Root Certificate. The certificate of a trusted CA such as
VeriSign.*

Server Certificate. Loaded on the server. Can be either self-
generated or received from a CA such as VeriSign*. Interacts
with requesting browser’s root certificate to establish encryption
level.

Global Site Certificate. An extended server certificate. Allows
128-bit encryption for export-restricted browsers.

Intermediate certificate authority (CA) Certificate. A certificate
“signed,” that is, authenticated, by a recognized CA such as
VeriSign*, and used to validate a global site certificate. Called an
“intermediate CA certificate” in the following discussion.
