ZyAIR G-2000 Plus User’s Guide
215 Chapter 17 Certificates
17.1.1 Advantages of Certificates
Certificates offer the following benefits.
• The ZyAIR only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide
to trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.
• Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and
you never need to transmit private keys.
17.2 Self-signed Certificates
Until public-key infrastructure becomes more mature, it may not be available in some areas.
You can have the ZyAIR act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates.
17.3 Configuration Summary
This section summarizes how to manage certificates on the ZyAIR.
Use the My Certificate screens to generate and export self-signed certificates or certification
requests and import the ZyAIRs’ CA-signed certificates.
Use the Trusted CA screens to save CA certificates to the ZyAIR.
17.4 My Certificates
Click CERTIFICATES, My Certificates to open the ZyAIR’s summary list of certificates
and certification requests. Certificates display in black and certification requests display in
gray. See the following figure.
