Dual-personalized connectors

What are dual-personalized connectors?
Dual-personalized connectors are connectors whose gSMC-K (device-specific security module card type connector) has both cryptographic RSA and ECC keys and associated certificates.

How do I recognize dual-personalized connectors?
Dual-personalized connectors can be identified by the first three digits of the connector's serial number.
If these are greater than or equal to 307 for a single-box connector or greater than or equal to 315 for a data centre connector, it is a dual-personalized connector in both cases.

Where can I find the serial number?
The serial number can be found on the type plate on the back of the connector.
 

Runtime certificates of the gSMC-K

How do I find out when the gSMC-K that is installed in my connector was produced?
You can view the expiry dates of the gSMC-K certificates in the connector. To do this, use the following path in the connector GUI: Practice > Cards > SMC-K > Certificate expiration date. The start of the certificate's term is the production date.

RSA-only connectors

What are RSA-only connectors?
RSA-only connectors are connectors whose gSMC-K (device-specific security module card type connector) only has cryptographic RSA keys and only associated RSA certificates.

How do I recognize RSA-only connectors?
RSA-only connectors can be recognized by the first three digits of the connector's serial number.
If these are less than 307 for a single-box connector or less than 315 for a data center connector, it is an RSA-only connector in both cases.

Where can I find the serial number?
The serial number can be found on the type plate on the back of the connector.
