Certificates
Certificates are needed for secure, encrypted communication over networks. On the G-RACK 12
you need them for SSH and a secure connection to the web administration interface (see General
Settings).
SSH
SSH (Secure Socket Shell) is a network protocol that provides administrators with a secure way to
access a remote computer. Secure Shell provides strong authentication and secure encrypted data
communications between two computers connecting over an insecure network in client-server
architectire. SSH is widely used by network administrators for managing systems remotely, allowing
them to log in to another computer over a network, execute commands and move file.
