Certificates Report

This feature allows you to track the use of a private key linked to a certificate in your DINAMO Super Cloud account. This way, when there is a private key and certificate pair in your account, if the key is used for a digital signature it is possible to associate this use of the key with its corresponding certificate.

It is worth noting that in order to make the association between a signature event and the certificate, the certificate must be present in your list of certificates and keys, so deleting the certificate makes it impossible to track it. The signatures accounted for in the report are those made via the APIs or which occurred in one of the HSMs linked to your account.

There are therefore two cases for generating a signature in the certificate report:

  1. The subscription took place on their own HSMs using the libraries or client software provided by DINAMO.
  2. The subscription took place via the DINAMO Super Cloud APIs.

If the values in the report are not as expected, make sure that all the signatures took place under the above conditions and that the certificate is present in your list of certificates and keys.

Subscription details

Each certificate in the report is displayed as a row, the columns refer to the certificate fields, Common Name, Valid Until, ID and total uses of the private key. Clicking on a row of a certificate shows details of each use:

  • Date and time of the signing event.
  • User, the one responsible for the event. If the signing occurred via the APIs, it will be the account ID associated with the API token used, if it occurred with one of your HSMs, it will be the name of the partition that initiated the signing.
  • Occurrence type, determines which type of service was used in the subscription operation. Consult your services to find out the types of occurrences associated with each one.
  • Key, will be the ID of the private key if the signature occurred through the APIs, or will be the name of the key within the private HSM if the signature occurred through this means.
  • HSM ID, identifies the HSM where the subscription was made. The value"HSM DS" denotes that one of our internal HSMs was used, so the event was initiated by the APIs. Any other value represents the HSM ID linked to your account that operated the subscription.

The usage details are loaded in batches, click on the load more button at the bottom of the list to see more items.
