Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for transmitting private information over the Internet. SSL uses
two keys to encr ypt data: a public key known to ever yone and a private or secret key known only to the
recipient of the message.
Netopia Embedded Software Version 7.7.4 uses SSL cer tificates for TR-069 suppor t.
SSL cer tificates are issued by trusted Cer tification Authorities (CAs). The CA digitally signs each cer tificate.
Each client contains a list of trusted CAs. When an SSL handshake between a ser ver and your Gateway
occurs, the client verifies that the ser ver cer tificate was issued by a trusted CA. If the CA is not trusted, a
warning will appear. Cer tificates installed in your Gateway and ser vers to which it connects verify to each
other that communications between them are encr ypted and private.
Cer tificates are purchased from an issuing Cer tificate Authority, usually by your corporate IT depar tment or
other ser vice provider, and provided to users for secure communications.
You must obtain a cer tificate file before you can install it.
