10: Security Settings

RSS Settings	Description
(continued)
Bit Size	Select the bit length of the new key:
	 512
	 768
	 1024
	Using a larger Bit Size takes more time to generate the key. Approximate times are:
	 1 second for a 512 bit RSA key
	 1 second for a 768 bit RSA key
	 1 second for a 1024 bit RSA key
	 2 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key
	 2 seconds for a 768 bit DSA key
	 20 seconds for a 1024 bit DSA key
	Note: Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits long. This
	device generates keys up to 2048 bits long.

To Configure SSH Settings

Using Web Manager

To configure SSH, gclick SSH in the menu.

SSL Settings

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure communication to a web server, and also for wireless authentication.

Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA) and uploaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated by the device server itself.

Note: The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a user-specified name.
