Description
The principal factor of PKI implementation is the private key used to encrypt or digitally sign information. If the private key is discovered, an attacker can use the key to authenticate as an authorized user and gain access to the network infrastructure. This requirement is NA, as it relies on other functionality that the router will not supply should this capability ever be made possible on a router.
