CHAPTER 13

Certificates

13.1 Overview

The VDSL Router can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are

based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public

key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.

13.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter

•Use the Local Certificates screens to generate certification requests and import the VDSL

Router's CA-signed certificates (Section 13.4 on page 171).

•Use the Trusted CA screen to save the certificates of trusted CAs to the VDSL Router (Section

13.4 on page 171).

13.2 What You Need to Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

Certification Authority

A Certification Authority (CA) issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate

owner. There are commercial certification authorities like CyberTrust or VeriSign and government

certification authorities. The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone

can then use the certification authority's public key to verify the certificates. You can use the VDSL

Router to generate certification requests that contain identifying information and public keys and

then send the certification requests to a certification authority.

13.3 The Local Certificates Screen

Click Wireless network > Classic configuration > Advanced Setup > Certificate to open the

Local Certificates screen. This screen displays the VDSL Router’s list of certificates and

certification requests.
