Implementing Robust Security Features

Authorized users may incur unanticipated losses from attacks by malicious third parties, such as sniffing, spoofing,

and tampering of data as it flows over a network. To protect your important and valuable information from these

attacks, the machine supports the following features to enhance security and secrecy.

TLS Encrypted Communication

TLS is a protocol for encryption for data sent over a network and is often used for communication via a Web

browser or an e-mail application. TLS enables secure network communication when you access the machine

from a computer via the Remote UI.

Using Key Pairs and Digital Certificates

A key pair system uses two differing keys, one for encrypting data (public key) and one for decrypting the data

(private key). Installing a key pair together with a digital certificate can prevent impersonation, falsification,

eavesdropping, etc.
