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.
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.
