Digital Signature Standard - ANSWER-document that
NIST puts out to specify digital signatures algorithms &
encryption algorithms are approved for use by the Federal
government
Specific Information Contained in a Digital Certificate: -
ANSWER--Version of conformity (v3)
-Serial number (unique tracking mechanism from creator)
-Signature Algorithm used to sign the certificate by the
Certificate Authority (CA)
-Issuer Name
-Validity Period
,-Subjects Name (the distinguished name, DN, of the
owner of the public key in the certificate)
-Subjects Public Key
Certificate Lifecycle: - ANSWER--Enrollment
-Verification
-Revocation
XML Key Management Specification 2.0 (XKMS) -
ANSWER-Defines protocols for distributing and registering
public keys, suitable for use in conjunction with XML digital
signatures and XML encryption.
,ANSI x9.17 - ANSWER-developed to address the need of
financial institutions to transmit securities and funds
securely using an electronic medium.
Key Wrapping and Key Encrypting Keys (KEK) -
ANSWER-KEKs are used as part of key distribution or key
exchange. The process of using KEK to protect session
keys is called key wrapping. Key wrapping uses symmetric
ciphers to securely encrypt a plaintext key along with any
associated integrity information and data. Used to protect
session keys in untrusted storage.
Secure Multipurpose Internet Email Extension (S/MIME) -
ANSWER-authentication and confidentiality protection
through the use of public key cryptography and digital
, signatures. x.509 digital certificates are used for
authentication
Mime Object Security Services (MOSS) - ANSWER-
Authentication confidentiality, indetrgirty & non repudiation.
Uses Message Digest 2 (MD2) and MD5 , RSA Public Key
and Data Encryption Standard (DES) for authentication
and encryption.
Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM): - ANSWER-Authentication,
confidentiality, integrity, and non repudiation. Uses RSA,
DES & x.509
