Chapter 5 | Securing Your Scopia XT
Desktop Deployment
This section describes how you can enhance the security of your Scopia XT Desktop deployment by encrypting
communications using the encryption keys held in certificates which are uploaded to the various deployment
components.
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited for usage. For more
information, consult your local reseller.
There are two types of certificates which can be installed.
• Install certificates on the Conference Server to encrypt the media travelling between Scopia XT Desktop Clients
and the Scopia XT Desktop Server. These certificates also secure all web traffic to the Scopia XT Desktop
Server, for example, when you access the server’s web administration user interface or when a user accesses
their meeting portal.
• Install certificates in the server’s keystore file, part of the Java installation, to secure communications with
Scopia Management and other components. Mutual authentication requires a certificate stored on each side of
the communication line.
The details of each certificate type and their configuration are detailed in the sections below:
