nCipher Modules: Integration Guide for Red Hat Certificate System 8.0 1.0 4

Chapter 1: Introduction

Red Hat Certificate System provides a powerful security framework to manage user identities and

ensure privacy of communications. Handling all the major functions of the identity life cycle, Red

Hat Certificate System simplifies enterprise-wide deployment and adoption of a Public Key

Infrastructure.

Red Hat Certificate System works behind the scenes to issue, renew, suspend, revoke, and

manage single and dual key X.509v3 certificates needed to handle strong authentication, single

sign-on, and secure communications. Support for Global Platform permits direct communication

between a registration authority and a smart card for key management tasks such as enrollment

and PIN reset.

This guide explains how to set up and configure a Red Hat Certificate System 8.0 installation with

Thales nCipher Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). The instructions in this document have

been thoroughly tested and provide a straightforward method for integrating the Thales nCipher

HSM with Red Hat Certificate System. There may be other untested ways to achieve

interoperability.

This guide might not cover every step in the process of setting up all software. For more detail

about installing Red Hat Certificate System, see the Red Hat Certificate System documentation

supplied on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. Some packages require that other packages already be

configured, initialized, and running before they can be installed successfully.

The integration between the HSM and Red Hat Certificate System uses the PKCS #11

cryptographic API. The integration has been successfully tested in the following configuration.
