obtained from a Certificate Authority.

Secure connections
An HTTPS connection is a standard HTTP connection on top of an SSL/TLS connection, adding
the security capabilities of SSL/TLS to standard HTTP communication. With HTTPS
implemented and used on the BC840-MC, a safe exchange of data between the unit and a
web browser is ensured. Information transported over the network, such as device settings
and credentials, is encrypted to protect it against eavesdropping.
Certificates
To implement HTTPS on the BC840-MC, you need to install an HTTPS certificate. You can use
a self-signed certificate or one created by a Certificate Authority (CA). CA-issued certificates
provide a higher level of security and inspire more trust than self-signed certificates. Self-
signed certificates are often installed for test purposes or as a temporary solution until a CA-
issued certificate has been obtained.
