A network security engineer is configuring digital certificate enrollment on a Cisco IOS router to establish secure IPsec VPN tunnels. Before submitting a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to an enterprise Certificate Authority (CA), which item must be generated directly on the local router?
- An asymmetric public and private key pairCevap
- BThe Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
- CThe Root CA public certificate
- DThe signature hash of the CA server
Cevap
An asymmetric public and private key pair must be generated on the local router prior to creating and submitting the Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
In Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enrollment, an endpoint must generate its own asymmetric public/private key pair locally. The private key is securely stored in local memory/NVRAM and never transmitted, while the public key is packaged into the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) sent to the Certificate Authority (CA) for signing.
