SSL
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol that uses a public key encryption system to establish secure communication
channels between networked devices, allowing for encrypted Internet traffic and server identity verification.
The SSL protocol uses a pair of keys – one private, one public – to authenticate and manage secure connections. SSL
keys are used during setup screen operations.
SSL Key Formats/Extensions
The SSL keys may include the following encoding formats and extensions:
SSL Certificate (server.crt)
The server.crt is the server public key, and is generated by the LinkStation. A computer that receives the server.crt
uses it to encrypt data, and the LinkStation then uses the server.key file to decrypt the data.
