Offline Certificate Validation
Offline Certificate Validation has been enhanced to include the following rules and
procedures:
Peer Certificates
The diagram below illustrates the peer certificate validation procedure
.
• The credentials of each certificate received from a networked peer are verified against a
repository of trusted certificates. (Each networked entity contains a repository of
trusted certificates.)
• The digital signature of the certificate’s issuing authority is checked along with the
certificate’s validity (expiration date).
Self Validation of Certificates
•The DNS name field in the entity’s certificate is checked for a match with the entity’s
DNS name.
