103. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates Anyone can then use the certification authority s public key to verify the certificates A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate The NWA does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL Certificate Revocation List The NWA can check a peer s certificate against a directory server s list of revoked certificates The framework of servers software procedures and policies that handles keys is called PKI public key infrastructure Advantages of Certificates Certificates offer the following benefits e The NWA only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust no matter how many devices you need to authenticate e Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys Self signed Certificates You can have the NWA act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates Factory Default Certificate The NWA generates its own
