D.1 Precongured Certicate Risk Disclaimer
The Huawei-issued certicates precongured on Huawei devices during
manufacturing are mandatory identity credentials for Huawei devices. The
disclaimer statements for using the
certicates are as follows:
1. Precongured Huawei-issued certicates are used only in the deployment
phase, for establishing initial security channels between devices and the
customer's network. Huawei does not promise or guarantee the security of
precongured certicates.
2. The customer shall bear consequences of all security risks and incidents arising
from using precongured Huawei-issued certicates as service certicates.
3. A precongured Huawei-issued certicate is valid from the manufacturing date
until May 2041.
4. Services using a
precongured Huawei-issued certicate will be interrupted
when the
certicate expires.
5. It is recommended that customers deploy a PKI system to issue certicates for
devices and software on the live network and manage the lifecycle of the
certicates. To ensure security, certicates with short validity periods are
recommended.
