Zorluk: OrtaPublic Key Infrastructure and Certificate Management

A security administrator is configuring digital certificates for an enterprise web gateway that host services for multiple subdomains across different domain names. To optimize TLS handshake performance, maintain client privacy, and ensure multi-domain validity, which TWO of the following configurations or steps should the administrator implement? (Select TWO.)

  1. Request a digital certificate that includes the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension containing all relevant fully qualified domain names.Cevap
  2. B
    Include the server private key within the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) submitted to the Certificate Authority for validation.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling on the web gateway so the server appends a time-stamped CA revocation response directly during the TLS handshake.Cevap
  4. D
    Generate a symmetric key pair during the CSR creation process to sign the digital certificate extensions.
  5. E
    Substitute digital signatures with symmetric message authentication codes (MACs) to guarantee non-repudiation across all issued certificates.

Cevap

The correct configurations are requesting a digital certificate with the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension for multi-domain support and enabling OCSP stapling on the gateway to improve performance and client privacy.
The Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension permits a single X.509 certificate to secure multiple hostnames and subdomains across distinct domain names. Concurrently, OCSP stapling allows the web gateway to periodically fetch a signed OCSP response from the CA and staple it to the TLS handshake, which eliminates client-side OCSP queries, decreases handshake latency, and protects user browsing privacy.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify multi-domain certificate requirements
Determined that the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension allows a single X.509 certificate to secure multiple fully qualified domain names.
Traditional single-domain or wildcard certificates may not cover distinct subdomains across separate domain names efficiently.
2
Evaluate revocation checking and handshake optimization mechanisms
Selected OCSP stapling as the optimal method for certificate status checking during TLS setup.
OCSP stapling delegates the revocation lookup to the web gateway, which fetches and caches the signed OCSP response to append to the TLS handshake, avoiding client lookup latency and third-party tracking.
