Chapter 9 SSL Commands
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), a security protocol, is to provide a secure connection for the
application layer protocol(e.g. HTTP) based on TCP. Adopting asymmetrical encryption technology,
SSL uses key pair to encrypt/decrypt information. A key pair refers to a public key (contained in the
certificate) and its corresponding private key. By default the switch has a certificate (self-signed
certificate) and a corresponding private key. The certificate/key download function enables the
user to replace the default key pair.
