Security (BC-SEC)

Public-key certificate used in R/3 to create and verify the digital signatures of R/3 components.

During the installation process, each R/3 application server receives its own public/private key pair and a public-key certificate. The application server can then generate a digital signature.

The R/3 public-key certificate is an X.509 certificate. It contains the information needed to create and verify the component's digital signature, such as the public key and the hash algorithm used to create the signature.
