  4. TheoreticalIntroduction

  5. Whatis a CA?

  6. Goals • Ensure: • Informationintegrity • Userauthentication • Non-repudiationofelectronic data

  7. Stateofart Technologies • OpenCA • Apache • PHP • Perl • PHPki • Apache • PHP • EJBCA • Java Aplication Server (JBoss) • Apache Ant(required to install)

  8. Solution Deploymentof a CA basedon EJBCA architecture.

  9. Functionalities • Administration • CA creationandactivation; • Manageentities; • Profilemanagement; • PublicArea • Certificateaquisition; • Certificaterevokationcheck;

  10. Deployment • EJBCA deployment • Apache Ant – configure andinstall EJBCA • JBossAplication Server – Application server thatwillprovidethe CA service • AdministratorsshouldinstalltheSuperAdmincertificate to accessthefollowing URL: • https://localhost:8443/ejbca/adminweb

  11. Userconfiguration • Userinformation to certify: • Name • Address • Phonenumber • Email • Userdetails must beverifiedwithuserpersonaldocuments • Citizencard • Email/SMS secretkey

  12. Certificates • Browser certificates • Authenticateusersonfaculty’sservices.

  13. Certificates • SSL/SSH Certification

  14. Otherapplications • CertificateSigningRequests • User uploads hispublickeys; • CA retrievescertificate; • Base64 encoding • PEM format • Specific software needed • OpenSSL

  15. Certificateapplications • Signinginformationisnot a functionalityofthisapplication. • Documentsigninghasto bedoneatclientside. • Examples: • Importcertificate to thunderbird • Use withopenssh

  16. SignatureValidation • Userlistcertifitates • Enteringcertificateproperties: • Issuer DN • Certificate serial number

  17. Keyexpiration • Certificate’svalidity date shouldnotgobeyoundgraduationyear. • KeygenerationcouldbeperformedbyCICA’s. • Anaternativeissubmissionof a newkeygerneratedbytheuserandthe CA shouldreturn a new digital certificate.

  18. RevokeLists • Thelistupdaterate isdefinedbythesystemadministrator. • Shouldbefrequentlyupdated. • Canbeobtainedbyanyoneonpublic EJBCA webpage

  19. Considerations • Mustbeprovided: • Webpagedocumentation for theuser: • Certificatecreationguides • Certificaterevokationguides • Certificationdocumentation: • Step-by-step userguide for commoncertification software • For exampleopenpgp, openssl, etc.
