Is a Certificate Authority required for encryption in Commvault? |
|
Answer» Only in the case of asymmetric cryptography, where DISTINCT keys are used to encrypt (with the private key) and decrypt (with the public key), is a Certificate Authority required. There is no need for a certificate or a certificate authority because all of our encryption is symmetric (the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt). When exchanging DATA over insecure lines (such as the INTERNET), and the IDENTITY of the entities on both ends is unknown, asymmetric crypto is employed. The CA helps VALIDATE the validity of the sent data, ensuring that malicious material is not sent. This issue does not exist in our situation because both endpoints have known entities. |
