Uploading Keys and Certificates

In order to upload Keys and Certificates, follow the Click here for RIST Key/Certificate
Management link in the web interface, as illustrated in Figure 6. For each type of encryption,
you have two options:

1.

Upload a matched key/certificate pair together
or

2.

Upload only a certificate that is matched to the internal built-in key. In order to do this,
you will need to obtain a CSR from the device itself and get it signed, as illustrated in
Figure 2. This process is described in more detail below.

You do not need to provide all four files. For example, if you are only interested in ECDSA
operation, you just need to provide the ECDSA Certificate (matched to the internal key) or a
certificate/key pair. Certificates and keys must be in PEM format.
The

Device Password

must match the password entered in the DashBoard interface.

Click on

Upload Files

to push the selected files into the device. Note that the device will only

accept the files if they are consistent, i.e.:

Files must be in the proper format.

If only a certificate is provided, it must match the built-in key.

If a key and certificate are provided, they must be of the correct type (RSA or ECDSA)
and must match each other.
