13.4.2.3 Security Concerns and Measures
The CPE WAN Management Protocol is designed to allow a high degree of security in the
interactions that use it. The CPE WAN Management Protocol is designed to prevent
tampering with the transactions that take place between a CPE and ACS, provide
confidentiality for these transactions, and allow various levels of authentication.
The following security mechanisms are incorporated in this protocol:
The protocol supports the use of SSL/TLS for communications transport between CPE
and ACS. This provides transaction confidentiality, data integrity, and allows
certificate-based authentication between the CPE and ACS.
The HTTP layer provides an alternative means of CPE authentication based on
shared secrets.
