AK-SecurePowerSwitch Manual,
SSL encryption
Encryption and certificate control
When using SSL/TLS without other or special certificates the internal certificates of the
SecurePowerSwitch
are always used for a connection via HTTPS or a secured TCP/IP
connection. In this way, it is guaranteed that the data exchange is encrypted in any case
and that it is not possible to read the content in the network. However, the Browser will
always indicate an unsafe connection.
This is due to the reason that the browser (Client) obtains a certificate of the
SecurePowerSwitch
(Server) when establishing the connection which cannot be checked
or which was signed by a certification body (CA) that is unknown to the browser. It is also
possible that the certificate was created for another name (CN) which does not correspond
to the above indicated address (IP).
