SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Security
This chapter shows you how to setup and enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security on the
ZyAIR.
21.1 About SSL
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security is a standard Internet protocol for secure communications that uses a
combination of certificate-based authentication and public-key encryption. SSL protects data transfer
between the web configurator on the ZyAIR and the web browser on a connected computer.
With SSL security activated, data (such as user name and password) transferred between the ZyAIR and the
computer is protected when you access the ZyAIR using a web browser that supports SSL.
