To connect serial equipment with network, we must consider security problem.
If you want to send and receive important data that needs to be secured, you may consider using Sollae Systems’ ezTCP.
Most of Sollae System’s ezTCP contains SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and SSH (Secure Shell) as security protocols.
You may do not know what SSL and SSH are, here is a brief explaination about the two security protocols.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL protocol was developed for the online money transaction. It was standardized as TLS, but often many people still use SSL.
When data is sent, it is coded by SSL protocol for security purpose. Sollae Systems’ ezTCP provides SSL 3.0 / TLS 1.0 to reduce danger such as data loss and exposure by hackers.
SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH is a shorten word for Secure Socket Shell. This protocol was created to protect remote accessing to host through network. Also it was made for the safe data transition between more than two network devices.
Nowadays, SSH protocol is widely used in Internet environment for the security. Sollae Systems’ ezTCP supplies SSH-2 version which is upgraded version of SSH-1.
These security protocols are usually used to exchange secured data such as bank information, credit card number, and personal information.
