Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

Managing devices with a web browser has been standard practice for several years. Unfortunately standard HTTP transactions are no more secure than Telnet. The solution is the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol which provides a means of abstracting an encrypted connection between two stations. Once established, such a connection is virtually no different to use than an unsecured connection. This allows an established protocol (e.g. HTTP) to operate in a secure manner on an open network.
