Cisco IOS CA Standards

• Internet Key Exchange (IKE) A hybrid protocol that implements Oakley and Skeme key exchanges inside the ISAKMP framework. IKE is covered in Chapters 9 and 10.

• Public-Key Cryptography Standard #7 (PKCS #7) A standard developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. used to encrypt and sign certificate enrollment messages.

• Public-Key Cryptography Standard #10 (PKCS #10) A standard syntax developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. for certificate requests.

• RSA Keys RSA is the public-key cryptographic system developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. RSA keys come in pairs: one public key and one private key.

• X.509v3 Certificates An X.509 certificate is a collection of a standard set of fields containing information about a user or device and their corresponding public key. The X.509 standard defines what information goes into the certificate and describes how to encode it (the data format). The encoded information is used with the IKE protocol when authentication requires public keys.
