Can KeyTalk handle certificates from multiple Certificate Authorities (CAs)?
I want to use a Certificate Authority, but KeyTalk doesn't seem to support it! Is this even possible?
Can KeyTalk manage asymmetric public/private crypto keys?
Does KeyTalk support short-lived X.509 certificates?
Our definition of short-lived X.509 certificates: certificates that do not last longer than the time it takes for a current Certificate Revocation List (CRL) to be updated and distributed from the moment they are issued. Do you normally work with CRLs that are updated once a day? Then, short-lived certificates are valid 24 hours shorter. Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) radiators are theoretically much faster than CRLs to update, but in practice, it usually takes longer than the average time to update a CRL to establish the necessity of including a certificate in an OCSP up to and including the actual inclusion of a certificate in an OCSP. This means that OCSPs are usually no more practical than a CRL when it comes to short-lived X.509 certificates.
KeyTalk can assign any lifespan to a certificate to be issued, as the target Certificate Authority supports this. The shortest validity that KeyTalk can assign to a certificate is 1 second.
