Securing Connections to the XT Series Using TLS

You can configure your video network devices, both Equinox Solution and third-party, to support
Transport Layer Security (TLS) for the SIP protocol and for connection to the XT Series web server
when using HTTPS.
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.
TLS enables network devices to communicate securely using certificates, to provide authentication
of the devices and encryption of the communication between them.
To create a TLS or HTTPS web certificate, you need to generate a certificate signing request (CSR)
and send it to the certification authority (CA) for signing. A CA has its own certificate, known as the
CA root certificate. When the CA signed certificate is ready, you upload it into the XT Series for
which it was created, together with the CA root certificate. Once this is done, the component can
authenticate itself and is ready for TLS connection.
Each time a video network device starts the TLS communication session, it sends its own signed
certificate together with the CA root certificate and requests the same certificates from the other
devices to which it wants to connect. After both devices verify each other's identity, a secure TLS
connection can be established. Exchanging certificates between devices is part of the TLS protocol;
it happens in the background and is transparent to a user.
