SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that provides security and
privacy over the Internet by negotiating encryption keys before
transmitting data between a client and a server.

encryption key assigned to it by a Certification Authority in the form of a
certificate file, private key file, and pass phrase. Once you install these
components, you can establish a secure connection using the SSL
protocol. The DXi4500 comes with a SSL certificate. In addition, you can
purchase other certificates and add them to the DXi4500 SSL
configuration.

and not server authentication. You may install your own custom
certificate in order to take advantage of server authentication in
addition to encrypted communication.
