SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that creates an encrypted connection between devices.
It also provides authentication and message integrity services. SSL is used widely for secure
communication to a Web server, and also for wireless authentication.
SSL certificates identify the SGX 5150 unit to peers and are used with some methods of wireless
authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the SGX 5150 unit.
You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate
Authority (CA), to the SGX 5150 unit. The SGX 5150 unit can also generate self-signed certificates
with associated private keys.
Credentials
The SGX 5150 unit can generate self-signed certificates and their associated keys for both RSA
and DSA certificate formats. When you generate certificates, assign them a credential name to
help identify them on the SGX 5150 unit. Once you create your credentials, then configure them
with the desired certificates.
