Device and method certificate generation

A device (110, 120) receives (S202) a password from a user, obtains (S204) a public key for a cryptographic algorithm for the device, obtains (S206) a password verifier by applying a one-way function to a combination of a unique identifier, the password and the public key, generates (S208) the certi...

Zusammenfassung:A device (110, 120) receives (S202) a password from a user, obtains (S204) a public key for a cryptographic algorithm for the device, obtains (S206) a password verifier by applying a one-way function to a combination of a unique identifier, the password and the public key, generates (S208) the certificate comprising the unique identifier, the public key and the password verifier, signs (S21 0) the certificate using a private key corresponding to the public key thereby obtaining a self-signed certificate, and outputs the self-signed certificate. Also provided is the device.
