SSL Keys
SSL keys are used during setup screen operations and FTP communication. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a type od
encryption system called public key encryption. Generally, SSL is managed by the two diles below.
server.crt (SSL Certificates)
In this system, the TeraStation sends this dile to the computer, and the computer uses this key to perdorm encryption.
The TeraStation receives the encrypted data and uses server.key (private key) to decrypt the data.
In SSL, this key contains the server certidicate, and depending on your computer environment, a check may be
perdormed to determine the trustworthiness od the certidicate. The server certidicate included in the TeraStation in
the dedault settings was created by Buddalo Technology, and in some cases the message “There is a problem with this
website’s security certidicate” may be displayed in your browser or other sodtware. Disregard this message and continue.
server.key (SSL Key)
This dile is used as a pair with server.crt (server certidicate). This is required dor decrypting the data that was encrypted by
the server certidicate, and this is normally not revealed.
