This release of Entrust Certificate Enrollment Gateway includes the following new features. Numbers in parenthesis are for internal tracking purposes.
Support for the EST protocol (CEG-1003)
This release adds support for the Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) protocol. EST is a PKI communication protocol that allows administrators to automatically and securely issue certificates to client applications or devices that support EST. EST is considered secure because the device itself creates the private keys, and only the public keys are passed to the CA. The private keys never leave the device.
Support for the CMPv2 protocol (CEG-1006)
This release adds support for the Certificate Management Protocol version 2 (CMPv2) protocol. CMPv2 is a PKI communication protocol that allows network devices to enroll into a PKI and get a certificate for making secure authenticated connections to other network components. CMPv2 is an update of the CMP standard.
