Managing Keys and Certicates
PKCS #7, PKCS #10, and PKCS #12 Object Files
Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) are encryption interface standards created by
RSA Data Security, Inc., that provide a le format for transferring data and cryptographic
information. D-Link supports the PKCS object les listed in PKCS Object Files Supported by
D-link.
PKCS Object Files Supported by D-link
File Type Standard Purpose
PKCS #7 Cryptographic
Message
Syntax
Standard
Contains a digital certicate signed by a
CA.
To install the certicate from a PKCS #7
le, use the crypto certicate command to
prepare MSS to receive the certicate, then
copy and paste the certicate into the CLI.
A PKCS #7 le does not contain the public
key to go with the certicate. Before you
generate the CSR and instal the certicate,
you must generate the public-private
key pair using the crypto generate key
command.
PKCS #10 Certication
Request Syntax
Standard
Contains a Certicate Signing Request
(CSR), a special le with encoded
information needed to request a digital
certicate from a CA.
To generate the request, use the crypto
generate request command. Copy and
paste the results directly into a browser
window on the CA server, or into a le to
send to the CA server.
