Process

• When request is received by the emCA service, we will decrypt the request JSON Object with the same AES key that is shared with the client. After successful decryption, request JSON object (Signed serial number + Username + Password + remarks) is retrieved.

• First the emCA service will validate username and password and check if the IP Address used for request and registered with the user are same.

• If it is same then signed data (signature) is validated by checking whether serial number is signed by pfx which is registered for the specific user.

• If validation fails at any point in processing the request, the emCA service will throw error /failure message.
