AMX IPSec Configuration file
Refer to the Appendix A: IPSec Configuration File section on page 115 for a listing and description of
the configuration lines supported by the AMX IPSec Configuration file.

A certificate is a cryptographically signed object that associates a public key and an
identity. Certificates also include other information in extensions such as permissions
and comments
"CA" is short for "Certification Authority" - an trusted third party (or internal entity) that
issues, signs, revokes, and manages these digital certificates.
