Module 9: Fundamentals of Securing Network Communication
2
Public Key Infrastructure Using Certificates
3
Lesson 1: Public Key Infrastructure Components of Public Key Infrastructure Selecting a Certification Authority What Is a Certificate? Types of Certificates What Is a Certificate Template? New Certificate Features in Windows Server® 2008
4
Components of Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CA Management Tools Certification Authority Certificate and CRL Distribution Points Certificate Template Digital Certificate Digital Certificate Certificate Revocation List Public Key-Enabled Applications and Services
5
Selecting a Certification Authority Internal CAs: Generate certificates free of charge Are trusted by internal computers Are not trusted by computers outside the organization External CAs: Require a fee for each certificate Are trusted by internal and external computers
6
What Is a Certificate? A digital certificate: Can be used to verify identity Contains a public key Contains information about the issuer and the subject Is signed by a CA
7
Types of Certificates Certificate TypeDescription User Assigned to users for performing actions such as file encryption Computer Assigned to computers for performing actions such as domain communication CA Assigned to certification authorities to authorize the issuing of certificates Certificates can be for limited uses:
8
What Is a Certificate Template? Certificate Template Description AdministratorAllows trust list signing and user authentication Basic EFS Used by Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt data Computer Allows a computer to authenticate itself on the network Domain ControllerAll-purpose certificates held by domain controllers IPSec Used by IP Security (IPSec) to digitally sign, encrypt, and decrypt network communication User Certificate to be used by users for e-mail, EFS, and client authentication Web ServerProves the identity of a Web server Certificate templates include:

New Certificate Services Features in Windows Server 2008 New FeatureDescription Enterprise PKIA tool for monitoring your PKI environment Network Device Enrollment Service Allows routers and switches to obtain X.509 certificates Online certificate status protocol Allows queries to view the validity of certificates Policy settings Updated with addition features for managing certificated by using Group Policy Web enrollmentUpdated to use a new DLL for enrollment control Cryptography Next Generation A set of APIs for performing cryptographic operations Restricted Enrollment Agent An authorized individual that can approve certificate requests for specific security groups New certificate services features include:

Lesson 2: Using Certificates What Is the Certificates Snap-in? What Is SSL? What Is IPSec? What Is S/MIME? How Certificates Are Used for Remote Access Demonstration: Obtaining a User Certificate
11
What Is the Certificates Snap-in? The Certificates snap-in manages user and computer certificates
12
What Is SSL? Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Encrypts communication between a client and server Requires no client configuration Is commonly used with basic authentication Uses asymmetric encryption to establish a secure channel Uses symmetric encryption to secure data in transit Server Client Encrypted Text Unencrypted Text
13
What Is IPSec? IPSec: Secures communication between two hosts Authenticates both hosts Is configured by using Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Can use multiple authentication types: – Pre-shared key – Kerberos version 5 protocol – Certificates
14
What Is S/MIME? Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME): Is a standard for helping to secure e-mail communication Can encrypt e-mail messages Can digitally sign e-mail messages Is supported by most e-mail clients Requires coordination between senders
15
How Certificates Are Used for Remote Access When certificates are used for remote access: The certificates are used as an authentication method Security is increased over using a username and password Can be placed on a smart card for additional security
16
Demonstration: Obtaining a User Certificate In this demonstration, you will see how to obtain a user certificate.

Lab: Securing Web Communication Exercise 1: Verifying the Trusted Root CA Exercise 2: Securing a Web site by using SSL Logon information Virtual computer NYC-DC1, NYC-CL1 User nameAdministrator Password Pa$$w0rd Estimated time: 60 minutes
18
Lab Review Why does accessing the Web site by IP address trigger a warning? What is the difference between removing the HTTP binding for a Web site and requiring the use of SSL? What is the difference between a certificate request, a domain certificate, and a self-signed certificate?
