10: Security Settings

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.

For more information regarding certificates and how to obtain them, see the chapter, Security in Detail.

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

Certificate and Key Generation

The PremierWave can generate self signed certificates and their corresponding keys. This can be done for both the rsa and dsa certificate formats. Certificates can be identified on the PremierWave by a name provided at generation time.
