Certificate authority Server (Digitial Certificate)

[Riyasat Ali]

Hi Everyone ,

We are planing to to buy a digital Certificate Manager, which we will be using to issue certificates to our all the cisco routers placed at ATM machines.

so that they can be authenticated and then to be connected via VPN to main branch.

I did some google and found many certificate authority issuing server , like , RSA , Digi-Cert , IBM and many more, i am just confused which one is best to implement here.

Any suggestion will be highly appriciated.

If this is internal and you only need it for devices you controll you can create your own Certificate Authority on Linux/Windows

If you only need cisco routers to get a cert, you can use another router to act as scep ca server, this is a built in feature in ios.
