SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Security

This chapter shows you how to setup and enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security on the ZyAIR.

21.1 About SSL

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security is a standard Internet protocol for secure communications that uses a combination of certificate-based authentication and public-key encryption. SSL protects data transfer between the web configurator on the ZyAIR and the web browser on a connected computer.

With SSL security activated, data (such as user name and password) transferred between the ZyAIR and the computer is protected when you access the ZyAIR using a web browser that supports SSL.
