Recently, together with the B-I-T GmbH Information and processes from Hanover worked on implementing the electronic data exchange with the statutory health insurance funds and the pension insurance from one application.
Here, a combination of authenticated data transmission of both signed and encrypted messages is used. PKI technologies are used in all these cases.
The message format used is here documented.

This is often the case because one has installed them with PKCS#1 version 2.1 and unfortunately finds out afterwards that not all applications are compatible with the resulting certificates, and thus cannot use the hierarchy.
While it is relatively easy to change the signature algorithm for certificates issued by a certification authority, it is more difficult to do so for certification authority certificates.

Continue reading „PKCS#1 Version 2.1 für eine Stammzertifizierungsstelle (Root CA) einsetzen (eigenes und ausgestellte Zertifikate)“When planning a public key infrastructure, the question arises as to which cryptographic algorithms it should use.
The main principles are explained below.
