18.1.2 What You Need To Know About Certificates

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
The NWA also trusts any valid certificate signed by any of the imported trusted CA
certificates. The certification authority certificate that you want to import has to
be in one of these file formats:
• Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for
X.509 certificates.
• PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses 64
ASCII characters to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.
• Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data
(including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. The NWA currently allows
the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.
• PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format
uses 64 ASCII characters to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable
form.
