DESCRIPTION
Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the hierarchy of
certification authorities that validate the certificate (and the certificate itself).
If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as a trusted
certification authority, it may be the only certification authority in the list (along
with the certificate itself). If the certificate is a self-signed certificate, the
certificate itself is the only one in the list. The ZyXEL Device does not trust the
certificate and displays "Not trusted" in this field if any certificate on the path has
expired or been revoked.
Click this to display the certification path.
These read-only fields display detailed information about the certificate.
This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-signed means
that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. Self-signed means that the
certificate's owner signed the certificate (not a certification authority). "X.509"
means that this certificate was created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509
recommendation that defines the formats for public-key certificates.
This field displays the X.509 version number.
This field displays the certificate's identification number given by the certification
authority or generated by the ZyXEL Device.
This field displays information that identifies the owner of the certificate, such as
Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU), Organization (O) and Country
(C).
This field displays identifying information about the certificate's issuing
certification authority, such as Common Name, Organizational Unit,
Organization and Country.
With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name field.
This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the certificate. The
ZyXEL Device uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA public-private key encryption
algorithm and the SHA1 hash algorithm). Some certification authorities may use
rsa-pkcs1-md5 (RSA public-private key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash
algorithm).
This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable. The text
displays in red and includes a Not Yet Valid! message if the certificate has not
yet become applicable.
This field displays the date that the certificate expires. The text displays in red
and includes an Expiring! or Expired! message if the certificate is about to expire
or has already expired.
This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to generate the
certificate's key pair (the ZyXEL Device uses RSA encryption) and the length of
the key set in bits (1024 bits for example).
This field displays the certificate owner's IP address (IP), domain name (DNS)
or e-mail address (EMAIL).
This field displays for what functions the certificate's key can be used. For
example, "DigitalSignature" means that the key can be used to sign certificates
and "KeyEncipherment" means that the key can be used to encrypt text.
This field displays general information about the certificate. For example,
Subject Type=CA means that this is a certification authority's certificate and
"Path Length Constraint=1" means that there can only be one certification
authority in the certificate's path.
This is the certificate's message digest that the ZyXEL Device calculated using
the MD5 algorithm.
