Configuring HTTPS
Certificates, Key Rings, and Trusted Points
HTTPS uses components of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to establish secure communications between
two devices, such as a client's browser and Cisco UCS Manager.
Encryption Keys and Key Rings
Each PKI device holds a pair of asymmetric Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption keys, one kept private
and one made public, stored in an internal key ring. A message encrypted with either key can be decrypted
with the other key. To send an encrypted message, the sender encrypts the message with the receiver's public
key, and the receiver decrypts the message using its own private key. A sender can also prove its ownership
of a public key by encrypting (also called 'signing') a known message with its own private key. If a receiver
can successfully decrypt the message using the public key in question, the sender's possession of the
corresponding private key is proven. Encryption keys can vary in length, with typical lengths from 512 bits
