transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if

It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see
information).
HTTPS on the Zyxel Device is used so that you can securely access the Zyxel Device using the Web
Configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the Zyxel Device) must always
authenticate itself to the HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the Zyxel
Device), whereas the HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server requires it to do
so (select Authenticate Client Certificates in the WWW screen). Authenticate Client Certificates is
optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the Zyxel Device a certificate. You must apply
for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the Zyxel Device.
Please refer to the following figure.
HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the Zyxel
1
Device's web server.
HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the Zyxel Device's web
2
server.

Note: If you disable HTTP in the WWW screen, then the Zyxel Device blocks all HTTP connection
attempts.
