SSL Certificates

SSL/TLS secures the PSA's web interface by providing data privacy, data integrity, and server authentication. SSL/ TLS (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)) is based upon the exchange of certificates that are used to validate a public key. These public keys are then used to generate a shared secret key that is used for encryption and decryption. Encrypting the data before it is sent out over the network and decrypting the data when it has been retrieved from the network provides data privacy.

SSL/TLS is always enabled on the PSA. By default, a certificate is automatically created and installed on the PSA. To create a newer certificate on the PSA, the administrator must provide data to create a key pair and certificate. The PSA's web interface always listens on the secure data channel (Port 443, HTTPS) and on the unsecure data channel (Port 80). All transactions between the web browser and the PSA's web interface requiring security take place on this secure port.
