Testing Certificate Process​

Why We Need to Test Your Private Key?

To uphold the utmost security and trust in our system, verifying key matches is essential. Ensuring the validity and integrity of cryptographic certificates through the testing of private key matches with our public key allows us to confidently proceed with certificate rotation, guaranteeing seamless and secure communication.

What is the Modulus of a Private Key?

In the realm of RSA cryptography, a key pair (comprising a public and private key) is generated based on two large prime numbers. The product of these two prime numbers is what we refer to as the "modulus." This modulus is an essential part of both the private and public keys, acting as a shared link between them.

In simpler terms, the modulus is a unique identifier that helps in ensuring that a particular private key corresponds to a specific public key. By comparing the modulus of your private key with that of our public key, we can verify that they are indeed a matching pair.



Getting Started with testing the certificate

There are two ways to access the testing page:

  • If you continue from the previous process, you can select ‘Next’ from the bottom right of the confirmation page.
  • If you come from the Certificate Management Dashboard, identify the certificate with the tag ‘Pending Testing’. Follow the steps below to ensure proper functionality and security.
1
Select ‘Certificate Management’ from OSP’s left sidebar.
2
Select ‘Active’ tab on Certificate Management dashboard.
3
Identify the certificate with the tag ’Pending Testing’. Select the ’Test Certificate’ button.
Verifying Certificate Step 1


Verify the Modulus of Your Private Key

Choose the appropriate option:

  • Select I DON’T KNOW how to obtain the modulus of my private key if you are unfamiliar with the process.
  • Select I KNOW how to retrieve the modulus of my private key if you can provide the modulus directly.

Note

If you'd like to learn how to generate the modulus yourself, please refer to our Modulus Extraction Guideline.


Test Certificate

Test Certificate, participants will proceed with the renewal process, choose the option that best suits your requirement. There are two (2) options for participants to choose from: the first option is ‘I DON’T KNOW how to obtain the modulus of my private key’ and the second option is ‘I KNOW how to obtain the modulus of my private key.’

4
Click on ‘I DON’T KNOW how to obtain the modulus of my private key’ button and click ‘Next’ button.
Verifying Certificate Option 1 Step 2
5
The next step requires participants to either upload their private key by clicking on ‘Choose file’ and uploading the file or pasting the private key in the textbox.
6
Then, click on the ‘Run Test’ at the right bottom of the page.
Verifying Certificate Option 1 Step 3

Note

On this page, if participants have lost their private key, they have the ability to request a new one. By clicking on the ‘Restart’ button, participants will be prompted with a dialog box and must agree to several requirements before proceeding to request a new private key.

Lost your private key?

Scheduled Date for Key Rotation

After you have successfully completed the test, the system will automatically schedule the date and time for the key rotation in our system. On the designated time, please log in to One Stop Portal again.

Furthermore, the key matching test will be conducted again, so be sure to keep your private key secure. In addition to this page, we have added new features that allow participants to set a date on their calendar as a reminder.

Attention

At this stage, the certificate has not been published. Please ensure you conduct testing again on the day of renewal. Kindly remember to secure your private key and organize your schedule accordingl

3
There are three (3) options for participants to set a calendar reminder.
