RSA Key Management
Refer to the
RSA
Keys screen to review existing RSA key configurations
that have been applied to managed devices. If an existing key does
not meet the needs of a pending certificate request, generate a new
key or import/export an existing key to and from a remote
location.
Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA)
is an algorithm for public key cryptography. The algorithm can
be used for certificate signing and encryption. When a device
trustpoint is created, the RSA key is the private key used with
the trustpoint.
To review
existing device RSA key configurations, generate additional
keys, or import/export keys to and from remote
locations:
-
Select the
RSA
Keys tab from the Certificate Management menu.
Certificate Management - RSA Keys Screen
-
Select a
listed device and review its current RSA key
configuration.
Each key
has its size and character syntax displayed. Once reviewed,
optionally generate a new RSA key, import a key from a
selected device, export a key to a remote location, or
delete a key from a selected device.
-
Click Generate Key to
create a new key with a defined size.
Certificate Management - Generate RSA Keys
Screen
-
Define the
following parameters required for the Import of the key:
| Key Name |
Enter the 32-character maximum name
assigned to the RSA key. |
| Key Size |
Set the size of the key as either
2048 (bits) or 4096 (bits). Leaving this
value at the default setting of 2048 is
recommended to ensure optimum
functionality. |
-
Click OK to generate the RSA
key.
Click Cancel to revert to the last
saved configuration.
