Managing connection certificates
The TLS encryption protocol ensures data transfer security using SSL connection certificates. An SSL connection certificate (hereinafter referred to as simply "certificate") is a block of data containing information about the certificate owner, the owner's public key, and the start and end dates of certificate validity.
The following certificates are required for securely connecting to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface through a browser.
- Administrator certificate when connecting to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface through an administrator account
- User certificate when connecting to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface through a user account
- The root certificate used for signing the administrator certificate and user certificate
Certificates can be issued by a special infrastructure on individual USB drives or tokens. In this case, to renew the certificate, you need a USB drive or token with a set of valid certificates. You can also create the required certificates manually and use these to connect to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface.
