How do PKIoverheid Private Server Certificates work?
PKIoverheid Private Server Certificates are digital certificates that verify the identity of servers within the Dutch government. They are issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA) and contain a public key and server information. These certificates ensure secure communication through encryption and digital signatures. When establishing a secure connection, the client verifies the certificate to confirm the authenticity of the server. This process protects against man-in-the-middle attacks and ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data.
Step by Step Guide
Register for the Certificate Manager role within minutes. You can identify yourself completely remotely, without an appointment.
For the encryption of server-to-server traffic, choose PKIoverheid Private Server certificates. You can select a validity of 1, 2, or 3 years.
Specify the domain name and validate it. You have the option to send a validation email to the domain administrator or to a validation email address in the Domain Name System (DNS).
You can choose the method to generate the CSR (Certificate Signing Request). Your browser can generate the CSR for you, or you can generate the CSR yourself using the command line or a CSR generator.
The certificate will be created on your computer. Your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and key pair will be generated in your internet browser. Digidentity will never receive or know your private key. Your CSR will be sent to Digidentity for signing.
Your PKIoverheid Private Server certificate will be generated, signed, password-protected, and stored on your computer. You can then install the certificate in your software application.
