2.1 HTTPS Overview
The HTTP Security (HTTPS) refers to the HTTP protocol that supports the Security
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
The SSL protocol of HTTPS enhances the security of the device in the following ways:
z
Uses the SSL protocol to ensure the legal clients to access the device securely
and prohibit the illegal clients;
z
Encrypts the data exchanged between the HTTPS client and the device to ensure
the data security and integrity, thus realizing the security management of the
device;
z
Defines certificate attribute-based access control policy for the device to control
the access right of the client, in order to further avoid attacks from illegal clients.
Note:
The total number of HTTP connections and HTTPS connections on a device cannot
exceed ten.
