SSL
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure web browser sessions
between a Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief
features 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 is
encrypted rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires
the use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely
identifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSL
Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The product’s SSL
Certificate enables the client to verify the unit’s authenticity and to communicate with
the unit securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from
interception and hacking.
