Registering CNA agents with the hive

CNA agents in your network need to register with the hive so that the CNA servers in the hive can:

• Schedule tests to the agent.
• Analyze the test data.
• Share the test results so that they can include the results in their reports. Agent-based measurement reports reflect data from the entire network, not just local CNA agents.

To ensure security of communication between CNA agents and CNA servers, the registration process:

• Authenticates the identity of both the CNA agent and CNA server
• Exchanges private keys that are used encrypt and decrypt all subsequent messages between the CNA servers and CNA agents.
