Learn MoreGlobal Public Cloud market size is expected to reach $488.5 billion by 2026 as per a research study conducted by www.businesswire.com and there will be a predicted 16% CAGR market growth during the forecasted time period. This triggers the immediate need to shift our focus on “Cloud Security”. Let’s deep dive into the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
ACM stands for AWS Certificate Manager. Just like any Certificate Manager, ACM provides convenient options for cloud service users to create, manage and deploy public and private SSL/TLS X.509 certificates and keys. These certificates provide authentication of identity of websites as well as private resources and protection for sensitive data hosted on Amazon Web Services platform. AWS services supported certificates can be provided either by directly issuing with ACM or by importing third party certificates to ACM management system.
Amazon provides two options for customers to deploy SSL/TLS X.509 certificates. Depending on the business requirement customers can choose from the below options.
Note : Certificates issued using Private CA cannot be used on internet
Public certificates provided by ACM have the characteristics described in this section. These characteristics only apply to certificates provided by ACM and might not apply to certificates imported to ACM:
Serial No. | Characteristics | |
---|---|---|
1 | Domain Validation (DV) | ACM Certificates are domain validated. Subject field of an ACM Certificate identifies a domain name. Ownership can be validated using email or DNS |
2 | Validity Period for Certificates | 13 months |
3 | Managed Renewal and Deployment | Automatic renewal and provisioning of certificates by ACM |
4 | Browser and Application Trust | ACM certificates are trusted by all major browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. ACM Certificates are also trusted by Java |
5 | Multiple Domain Names | Each ACM certificate must include one Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and additional names can be added further |
6 | Wildcard Names | ACM allows to use an (*) asterisk in domain name to create an ACM certificate that can protect several sites in the same domain |
7 | Algorithms | Public key algorithms supported by ACM:
