Chapter 19 SSL Commands
SSL（Secure Sockets Layer）, a security protocol, is to provide a secure connection for the
application layer protocol(e.g. HTTP) based on TCP. Adopting asymmetrical encryption technology,
SSL uses key pair to encrypt/decrypt information. A key pair refers to a public key (contained in the

certificate) and a corresponding private key. The Certificate/Key Download function enables the
user to replace the default key pair.
