Uncover PKI and Certificate Services
—by Jan De Clercq
The core component of the Windows Server 2003 public key infrastructure (PKI) software is the
Certification Authority (CA), which Microsoft often refers to as the Certificate Server or Certificate
Services. A CA receives and processes PKI user certificate requests, identifies and validates those
requests, issues certificates according to the PKI’s security policy, renews and revokes certificates,
publishes certificates to different locations, creates and publishes certificate revocation lists (CRLs), and
logs all certificate and CRL transactions to the appropriate database. A Windows 2003 CA can also
perform secure private key archival and recovery. To better understand how CAs and PKI have
evolved in Windows 2003, let’s examine the components of the latest Certificate Services architecture
and the differences between establishing an enterprise CA and a standalone CA in Windows 2003.
Windows 2003 Certificate Services Architecture
The Windows 2003 Certificate Services architecture is almost identical to the architecture that
Microsoft used for previous editions of Certificate Services. A key difference is that Microsoft modified
the CA database layout to let the CA archive and recover PKI users’ private keys. Figure 1 shows the
architecture, which includes various modules, databases, administrative tools, intermediaries, and
CryptoAPI.
