Secure Communication Mode

The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) can be configured to work in Secure Mode by configuring the MCU and the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) Web Client to work with SSL/TLS.

In this mode, a SSL/TLS Certificate is installed on the MCU, setting the MCU Listening Port to secured port 443.

TLS is a cryptographic protocol used to ensure secure communications on public networks. TLS uses a Certificate purchased from a trusted third party Certificate Authority to authenticate public keys that are used in conjunction with private keys to ensure secure communications across the network.

The MCU supports:

•TLS 1.0

•SSL 3.0 (Secure Socket Layer)

SSL 3.0 utilizes 1024-bit RSA public key encryption.

TLS certificates can be generated using the following methods: CSR, PFX and PEM; each giving different options for Encryption Key length. Table F-1lists the SIP TLS Encryption Key length support for the various system components.
