Linksys® E2000 Wireless-N Router Configuration Guide
®
The N2KView
system protects your vessel's data with multiple levels of protection.
®
®
First, any data that passes between the N2KServer
server component and any N2KView
station components is protected using industry-standard SSL encryption. This encryption
standard is widely used to protect financial information on the internet. Each communication
session negotiates a random encryption key every time a connection is established. This
makes the data secure over public and private Wi-Fi networks, as well as the internet.
®
®
Second, each N2KView
station that wishes to connect to an N2KServer
server component
must authenticate itself by means of a server password. The server password is transmitted
®
®
by the N2KView
station to the N2KServer
server over the encrypted communication link.
®
The N2KServer
compares the server password to the one it was programmed with. Only if
the server password received from the station matches the server's stored password is the
station granted access to the NMEA 2000 network data.
Third, access to the Router itself can be protected through passwords and the data flowing
through the router over wireless connections can be encrypted (scrambled) using a pass
phase.
