SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
This chapter shows you how to setup and enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security on the

28.1 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 ZyXEL Device and the web
browser on a connected computer.
With SSL security activated, data (such as user name and password) transferred between the
ZyXEL Device and the computer is protected when you access the ZyXEL Device using a
web browser that supports SSL.
