Third Party Certificates on MR-MXP Card

The MR-MXP card supports the generation of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and the installation of Locally Significant Certificates (LSCs) that can be used to authenticate the peer card connection. Third party certificates also referred to as Locally Significant Certificates (LSCs) are certificates that are signed by a Certification Authority (CA) other than Cisco Certificate Authority. LSCs allow customers to have their own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide better security, to have control of their own CA, and to define policies, restrictions, and usages on the generated certificates.

A public-private key is generated inside the target system and then the generated public key along with other product or customer specific information (collectively called as a Certificate Signing Request) is then sent to be signed by a CA (customer owned or a third party) after which, the signed certificates are imported or installed via a trusted and secure channel or method into the target system. After the signed certificates are installed, it can be used in conjunction with the private key to authenticate any remote connection before exchanging sensitive information with the same.
