In order to run a certificate-based network, admins need to understand how to create and program x.509 certificates. x.509 is a cryptography standard for defining a public key certificate. x.509 falls in the x.500 network standards that covers electronic directory …
Many Azure customers run credential-based networks with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication. While that may be fine for some, credential-based authentication has major issues with security and user experience. Passwords are a weak choice for authentication because modern cyber attacks can easily bypass …
What is a Certificate Revocation List? A certificate revocation list, more commonly called a CRL, is exactly what it sounds like: a list of digital certificates that have been revoked. A CRL is an important component of a public key …
ECC, or Eliptical Curve Cryptography, isn’t a new technology – it’s relatively old, actually, Despite being around since 1985, it has just recently begun to gain popularity as an alternative, possibly superior, form of public key cryptography. So what’s the …
There are many components involved in running a certificate-based network. You need to establish trusted servers and certificate authorities (CA), make sure devices can enroll for certificates, authenticate users, manage the certificate life cycle, segment users for different group policies, …
Deciding between a managed PKI and a private PKI is a difficult decision. Each method of PKI management has advantages and disadvantages, and if you’re coming from a place of little experience, it can be daunting to choose one. We’ve …
What is S/MIME? S/MIME stands for “Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions”. It’s an IETF standard for public key encryption, as well as for creating a digital signature for MIME data. In essence, S/MIME uses a PKI to enroll an email client …
A Managed PKI is a vital part of any comprehensive network security strategy. It allows you to use digital certificates for authentication, a form of credential that’s much more secure and widely-applicable than passwords. Certificates offer the following advantages: Certificates …
SHA-1 is a commonly used cryptographic hash algorithm that has been used for nearly 2 decades to secure online communications. It was originally designed for government use, but an exploit was discovered and its official government use was phased out. …
