SSL provides two chieffeatures designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure: Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server. Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server isencrypted rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requiresthe use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquelyidentifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSLCertificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The product’s SSLCertificate enables the client to verify the unit’s authenticity and to communicate withthe unit securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information frominterception and hacking.Table 4-1.
