Feature History
Release ModificationCisco IOS
For information about feature support in Cisco IOS software, use Cisco Feature Navigator.
This chapter describes how to configure certification authority (CA) interoperability, which is provided in support of the IP Security (IPSec) protocol. CA interoperability permits Cisco IOS devices and CAs to communicate so that your Cisco IOS device can obtain and use digital certificates from the CA. Although IPSec can be implemented in your network without the use of a CA, using a CA provides manageability and scalability for IPSec.
For background and configuration information for IPSec, see the chapter "Configuring IPSec Network Security."
For a complete description of the commands used in this chapter, refer to the chapter "Certification Authority Interoperability Commands" in the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference.

About CA Interoperability
Without CA interoperability, Cisco IOS devices could not use CAs when deploying IPSec. CAs provide a manageable, scalable solution for IPSec networks. For details, see the section "About Certification Authorities."
This section contains the following sections:
Supported Standards
Cisco supports the following standards with this feature:
•
IPSec—IP Security Protocol. IPSec is a framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPSec provides these security services at the IP layer; it uses Internet Key Exchange to handle negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy, and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPSec. IPSec can be used to protect one or more data flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.
For more information on IPSec, see the chapter "Configuring IPSec Network Security."
•
Internet Key Exchange (IKE)—A hybrid protocol that implements Oakley and Skeme key exchanges inside the Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) framework. Although IKE can be used with other protocols, its initial implementation is with the IPSec protocol. IKE provides authentication of the IPSec peers, negotiates IPSec keys, and negotiates IPSec security associations.
For more information on IKE, see the chapter "Configuring Internet Key Exchange Security Protocol."
•
Public-Key Cryptography Standard #7 (PKCS #7)—A standard from RSA Data Security, Inc., used to encrypt and sign certificate enrollment messages.
•
Public-Key Cryptography Standard #10 (PKCS #10)—A standard syntax from RSA Data Security, Inc. for certificate requests.
•
RSA Keys—RSA is the public key cryptographic system developed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. RSA keys come in pairs: one public key and one private key.
•
X.509v3 certificates—Certificate support that allows the IPSec-protected network to scale by providing the equivalent of a digital ID card to each device. When two devices wish to communicate, they exchange digital certificates to prove their identity (thus removing the need to manually exchange public keys with each peer or to manually specify a shared key at each peer). These certificates are obtained from a certification authority (CA). X.509 is part of the X.500 standard of the ITU.
Restrictions
When configuring your CA, the following restrictions apply:
•
This feature should be configured only when you also configure both IPSec and IKE in your network.
•
The Cisco IOS software does not support CA server public keys greater than 2048 bits.
Prerequisites
You need to have a certification authority (CA) available to your network before you configure this interoperability feature. The CA must support Cisco Systems' PKI protocol, the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) (formerly called certificate enrollment protocol (CEP)).

About Registration Authorities
Purpose of CAs
CAs are responsible for managing certificate requests and issuing certificates to participating IPSec network devices. These services provide centralized key management for the participating devices.
CAs simplify the administration of IPSec network devices. You can use a CA with a network containing multiple IPSec-compliant devices such as routers.
Digital signatures, enabled by public key cryptography, provide a means of digitally authenticating devices and individual users. In public key cryptography, such as the RSA encryption system, each user has a key pair containing both a public and a private key. The keys act as complements, and anything encrypted with one of the keys can be decrypted with the other. In simple terms, a signature is formed when data is encrypted with a user's private key. The receiver verifies the signature by decrypting the message with the sender's public key. The fact that the message could be decrypted using the sender's public key indicates that the holder of the private key, the sender, must have created the message. This process relies on the receiver's having a copy of the sender's public key and knowing with a high degree of certainty that it really does belong to the sender and not to someone pretending to be the sender.
Digital certificates provide the link. A digital certificate contains information to identify a user or device, such as the name, serial number, company, department, or IP address. It also contains a copy of the entity's public key. The certificate is itself signed by a certification authority (CA), a third party that is explicitly trusted by the receiver to validate identities and to create digital certificates.
In order to validate the signature of the CA, the receiver must first know the CA's public key. Normally this process is handled out-of-band or through an operation done at installation. For instance, most web browsers are configured with the public keys of several CAs by default. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE), an essential component of IPSec, can use digital signatures to scalably authenticate peer devices before setting up security associations.
Without digital signatures, one must manually exchange either public keys or secrets between each pair of devices that use IPSec to protect communications between them. Without certificates, every new device added to the network requires a configuration change on every other device with which it communicates securely. With digital certificates, each device is enrolled with a certification authority. When two devices wish to communicate, they exchange certificates and digitally sign data to authenticate each other. When a new device is added to the network, one simply enrolls that device with a CA, and none of the other devices needs modification. When the new device attempts an IPSec connection, certificates are automatically exchanged and the device can be authenticated.
Implementing IPSec Without CAs
Without a CA, if you want to enable IPSec services (such as encryption) between two Cisco routers, you must first ensure that each router has the key of the other router (such as an RSA public key or a shared key). This requirement means that you must manually perform one of the following operations:
•
At each router, enter the RSA public key of the other router
•
At each router, specify a shared key to be used by both routers
Figure 33 Without a CA: Key Configuration Between Two Routers
![]()
In Figure 33, each router uses the key of the other router to authenticate the identity of the other router; this authentication always occurs when IPSec traffic is exchanged between the two routers.
If you have multiple Cisco routers in a mesh topology and wish to exchange IPSec traffic passing among all of those routers, you must first configure shared keys or RSA public keys among all of those routers.
Figure 34 Without a CA: Six Two-Part Key Configurations Required for Four IPSec Routers
![]()
Every time a new router is added to the IPSec network, you must configure keys between the new router and each of the existing routers. (In Figure 34, four additional two-part key configurations would be required to add a single encrypting router to the network.)
Consequently, the more devices there are that require IPSec services, the more involved the key administration becomes. This approach does not scale well for larger, more complex encrypting networks.
Implementing IPSec with CAs
With a CA, you do not have to configure keys between all the encrypting routers. Instead, you individually enroll each participating router with the CA, requesting a certificate for the router. When this has been accomplished, each participating router can dynamically authenticate all the other participating routers. This process is illustrated in Figure 35.
Figure 35 With a CA: Each Router Individually Makes Requests of the CA at Installation
![]()
To add a new IPSec router to the network, you need only configure that new router to request a certificate from the CA, instead of making multiple key configurations with all the other existing IPSec routers.
Implementing IPSec with Multiple Root CAs
With multiple root CAs, you no longer have to enroll a router with the CA that issued a certificate to a peer. Instead, you configure a router with multiple CAs that it trusts. Thus, a router can use a configured CA (a trusted root) to verify certificates offered by a peer that were not issued by the same CA defined in the identity of the router.
Configuring multiple CAs allows two or more routers enrolled under different domains (different CAs) to verify the identity of each other when using IKE to set up IPSec tunnels.
Through Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP), each router is configured with a CA (the enrollment CA). The CA issues a certificate to the router that is signed with the private key of the CA. To verify the certificates of peers in the same domain, the router is also configured with the root certificate of the enrollment CA.
To verify the certificate of a peer from a different domain, the root certificate of the enrollment CA in the domain of the peer must be configured securely in the router.
During IKE phase one signature verification, the initiator will send the responder a list of its CA certificates. The responder should send the certificate issued by one of the CAs in the list. If the certificate is verified, the router saves the public key contained in the certificate on its public key ring.
With multiple root CAs, Virtual Private Network (VPN) users can establish trust in one domain and easily and securely distribute it to other domains. Thus, the required private communication channel between entities authenticated under different domains can occur.
How CA Certificates Are Used by IPSec Devices
When two IPSec routers want to exchange IPSec-protected traffic passing between them, they must first authenticate each other—otherwise, IPSec protection cannot occur. The authentication is done with IKE.
Without a CA, a router authenticates itself to the remote router using either RSA-encrypted nonces or preshared keys. Both methods require that keys must have been previously configured between the two routers.
With a CA, a router authenticates itself to the remote router by sending a certificate to the remote router and performing some public key cryptography. Each router must send its own unique certificate that was issued and validated by the CA. This process works because the certificate of each router encapsulates the public key of the router, each certificate is authenticated by the CA, and all participating routers recognize the CA as an authenticating authority. This scheme is called IKE with an RSA signature.
Your router can continue sending its own certificate for multiple IPSec sessions, and to multiple IPSec peers until the certificate expires. When its certificate expires, the router administrator must obtain a new one from the CA.
CAs can also revoke certificates for devices that will no longer participate in IPSec. Revoked certificates are not recognized as valid by other IPSec devices. Revoked certificates are listed in a certificate revocation list (CRL), which each peer may check before accepting a certificate from another peer.
About Registration Authorities
Some CAs have a registration authority (RA) as part of their implementation. An RA is essentially a server that acts as a proxy for the CA so that CA functions can continue when the CA is offline.
Some of the configuration tasks described in this document differ slightly, depending on whether your CA supports an RA.
CA Interoperability Configuration Task Lists
To enable your Cisco device to interoperate with a CA, complete the tasks in the following sections. Some of the tasks are optional; the remaining are required.
•
Managing NVRAM Memory Usage (Optional)
•
Configuring the Routers Host Name and IP Domain Name (Required)
•
Generating an RSA Key Pair (Required)
•
Declaring a Certification Authority (Required)
•
Configuring a Root CA (Trusted Root) (Optional)
•
Authenticating the CA (Required)
•
Requesting Your Own Certificates (Required)
•
Saving Your Configuration (Required)
•
Monitoring and Maintaining Certification Authority Interoperability (Optional)
For CA interoperability configuration examples, refer to the section "CA Interoperability Configuration Examples" at the end of this chapter.
Managing NVRAM Memory Usage
Certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are used by your router when a CA is used. Normally certain certificates and all CRLs are stored locally in the router's NVRAM, and each certificate and CRL uses a moderate amount of memory.
The following certificates are normally stored at your router:
•
The certificate of your router
•
The certificate of the CA
•
Root certificates obtained from CA servers (all root certificates are saved in RAM after the router has been initialized)
•
Two registration authority (RA) certificates (only if the CA supports an RA)
CRLs are normally stored at your router according to the following conditions:
•
If your CA does not support an RA, only one CRL gets stored at your router.
•
If your CA supports an RA, multiple CRLs can be stored at your router.
In some cases, storing these certificates and CRLs locally will not present any difficulty. In other cases, memory might become a problem—particularly if your CA supports an RA and a large number of CRLs have to be stored on your router. If the NVRAM is too small to store root certificates, only the fingerprint of the root certificate will be saved.
To save NVRAM space, you can specify that certificates and CRLs should not be stored locally, but should be retrieved from the CA when needed. This alternative will save NVRAM space but could result in a slight performance impact.
To specify that certificates and CRLs should not be stored locally on your router, but should be retrieved when required, turn on query mode by using the following command in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeRouter(config)# crypto ca certificate query
Turns on query mode, which causes certificates and CRLs not to be stored locally.
![]()
Note
Query mode may affect availability if the CA is down.
If you do not turn on query mode now, you can turn it on later even if certificates and CRLs have already been stored on your router. In this case, when you turn on query mode, the stored certificates and CRLs will be deleted from the router after you save your configuration. (If you copy your configuration to a TFTP site prior to turning on query mode, you will save any stored certificates and CRLs at the TFTP site.)
If you turn on query mode now, you can turn off query mode later if you wish. If you turn off query mode later, you could also perform the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command at that time to save all current certificates and CRLs to NVRAM. Otherwise they could be lost during a reboot and would need to be retrieved the next time they were needed by your router.
Configuring the Routers Host Name and IP Domain Name
You must configure the host name and IP domain name of the router if this has not already been done. This is required because the router assigns a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to the keys and certificates used by IPSec, and the FQDN is based on the host name and IP domain name you assign to the router. For example, a certificate named "router20.example.com" is based on a router host name of "router20" and a router IP domain name of "example.com".
To configure the host name and IP domain name of the router, use the following commands in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeStep 1
Router(config)# hostname name
Configures the host name of the router.
Step 2
Router(config)# ip domain-name name
Configures the IP domain name of the router.
Generating an RSA Key Pair
RSA key pairs are used to sign and encrypt IKE key management messages and are required before you can obtain a certificate for your router.
To generate an RSA key pair, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Declaring a Certification Authority
You should declare one certification authority (CA) to be used by your router.
To declare a CA, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:
The trade-off between security and availability is determined by the query url and crl optional commands, as shown in Table 26.
Configuring a Root CA (Trusted Root)
To configure a trusted root, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeStep 1
Router(config)# crypto ca trusted-root name
Configures a root with a selected name and enters trusted root configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(ca-root)#
crl query url
(Optional) Queries the CRL published by the configured root with the LDAP1 URL.
Step 3
Router(ca-root)#
exit
(Optional) Exits trusted root configuration mode.
Step 4
Router(config)#
crypto ca identity name
(Optional) Enters certificate authority identity configuration mode.
Step 5
Router(ca-identity)#
crl optional
(Optional) Allows other peer certificates to be accepted by your router even if the appropriate CRL is not accessible to your router.
Step 6
Router(ca-identity)#
exit
(Optional) Exits certificate authority identity configuration mode.
Step 7
Router(config)#
crypto ca trusted-root name
(Optional) Enters trusted root configuration mode.
Step 8
Router(ca-root)#
root CEP url
or
Router(ca-root)#
root TFTP server-hostname filename
Uses SCEP2 , with the given identity and URL, to get a root certificate.
or
Uses TFTP to get a root certificate.
![]()
Note
Only use TFTP if your CA server does not support SCEP.
![]()
Note
When you are using TFTP, the server must be secured so that the downloading of the root certificate is not subject to any attack.
Step 9
Router(ca-root)#
root PROXY url
Defines the HTTP proxy server for getting a root certificate.
1 LDAP = Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
2 SCEP = Simple Certificate Ennrollment Protocol (formerly called Cisco Enrollment Protocol (CEP)).
Authenticating the CA
The router must authenticate the CA. It does this by obtaining the self-signed certificate of the CA, which contains the public key of the CA. Because the certificate of the CA is self-signed (the CA signs its own certificate) the public key of the CA should be manually authenticated by contacting the CA administrator to compare the fingerprint of the CA certificate when you perform this step.
To get the public key of the CA, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeRouter(config)# crypto ca authenticate name
Gets the public key of the CA. Use the same name that you used when declaring the CA or when using the crypto ca identity command.
Requesting Your Own Certificates
You must obtain a signed certificate from the CA for each of your router's RSA key pairs. If you generated general-purpose RSA keys, your router has only one RSA key pair and needs only one certificate. If you previously generated special-usage RSA keys, your router has two RSA key pairs and needs two certificates.
To request signed certificates from the CA, use the following command in global configuration mode:
![]()
Note
If your router reboots after you have issued the crypto ca enroll command but before you have received the certificates, you must reissue the command and notify the CA administrator.
Saving Your Configuration
Always remember to save your work when you make configuration changes.
Use the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command to save your configuration. This command includes saving RSA keys to private NVRAM. RSA keys are not saved with your configuration when you use a copy system:running-config rcp: or copy system:running-config tftp: command.
Monitoring and Maintaining Certification Authority Interoperability
The following tasks are optional, depending on your particular requirements:
•
Requesting a Certificate Revocation List
•
Querying a Certificate Revocation List
•
Deleting RSA Keys from Your Router
•
Deleting a Peer's Public Keys
•
Deleting Certificates from the Configuration
•
Viewing Keys and Certificates
Requesting a Certificate Revocation List
You can request a certificate revocation list (CRL) only if your CA does not support a registration authority (RA). The following description and task applies only when the CA does not support an RA.
When your router receives a certificate from a peer, your router will download a CRL from the CA. Your router then checks the CRL to make sure the certificate that the peer sent has not been revoked. (If the certificate appears on the CRL, your router will not accept the certificate and will not authenticate the peer.)
A CRL can be reused with subsequent certificates until the CRL expires if query mode is off. If your router receives a peer's certificate after the applicable CRL has expired, the router will download the new CRL.
If your router has a CRL that has not yet expired, but you suspect that the contents of the CRL are out of date, you can request that the latest CRL be downloaded immediately to replace the old CRL.
To request immediate download of the latest CRL, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeRouter(config)# crypto ca crl request name
Requests an updated CRL.
This command replaces the currently stored CRL at your router with the newest version of the CRL.
Querying a Certificate Revocation List
You can query a certificate revocation list (CRL) only when you configure your router with a trusted root. The following description and task apply only when your router has been configured with a trusted root.
When your router receives a certificate from a peer from another domain (with a different CA), the CRL downloaded from the CA of the router will not include certificate information about the peer. Therefore, you should check the CRL published by the configured root with the LDAP URL to ensure that the certificate of the peer has not been revoked.
If you would like CRL of the root certificate to be queried when the router reboots, you must enter the crl query command at this point.
To query the CRL published by the configured root with the LDAP URL, enter the following command in trusted root configuration mode:
Deleting RSA Keys from Your Router
Under certain circumstances you may want to delete your router's RSA keys. For example, if you believe the RSA keys were compromised in some way and should no longer be used, you should delete the keys.
To delete all RSA keys from your router, use the following command in global configuration mode:
After you delete a router's RSA keys, you should also complete these two additional tasks:
•
Ask the CA administrator to revoke your router's certificates at the CA; you must supply the challenge password you created when you originally obtained the router's certificates with the crypto ca enroll command.
•
Manually remove the router's certificates from the router configuration, as described in the section "Deleting Certificates from the Configuration."
Deleting a Peer's Public Keys
Under certain circumstances you may want to delete other peers' RSA public keys from your router's configuration. For example, if you no longer trust the integrity of a peer's public key, you should delete the key.
To delete a peer's RSA public key, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:
Deleting Certificates from the Configuration
If the need arises, you can delete certificates that are saved at your router. Your router saves its own certificates, the certificate of the CA, and any RA certificates (unless you put the router into query mode as explained in the section "Managing NVRAM Memory Usage").
To delete your router's certificate or RA certificates from your router's configuration, use the following commands in global configuration mode:
To delete the CA's certificate, you must remove the entire CA identity, which also removes all certificates associated with the CA—your router's certificate, the CA certificate, and any RA certificates.
To remove a CA identity, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command PurposeRouter(config)# no crypto ca identity name
Deletes all identity information and certificates associated with the CA.
Viewing Keys and Certificates
To view keys and certificates, use the following commands in EXEC mode:
What to Do Next
After you have finished configuring this feature, you should configure IKE and IPSec. IKE configuration is described in the chapter "Configuring Internet Key Exchange Security Protocol." IPSec configuration is described in the chapter "Configuring IPSec Network Security."
CA Interoperability Configuration Examples
The following configuration is for a router named "myrouter." In this example, IPSec is configured and the IKE protocol and CA interoperability are configured in support of IPSec.
In this example, general-purpose RSA keys were generated, but you will notice that the keys are not saved or displayed in the configuration.
