Preinstalled certificate

Electronic certificate PKI
PKI (Public-Key Infrastructure) is a security infrastructure that governs data exchange in a safer internet environment using the “Public key encryption method” which is consisted of a public key and private key. Both SSL/TLS as communication encryption and electronic certificates are based on the technology used for this PKI public key method. Therefore, a secured electronic certificate issued by a reliable certificate agent (CA) is important for PKI. There are two types of certificates, the user’s self- validated certificate and the ones that are validated through CA. The self- validated certificates do not have CA’s validation, thus the level of protection is limited. The following is the steps to purchase a certificate validated by a reliable CA to install to your i-PRO camera.

Generate a key
Create CSR
Send CSR to CA
The validated certificate is generated at CA
Install the certificate returned from the CA
The cost will incur when purchasing certificates from CA for each camera and also the steps can be time-consuming.
