Managing Encryption Keys
RSA keys help to control authentication between the CDP Agent and the CDP Server. The first time the CDP Agent runs, it will generate a new RSA Public and Private Key. The CDP Server will do the same. To communicate with the CDP Server, the Agent must have a file containing the CDP Server's Public Key.
