4.4.2 SSL Config
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol designed to provide a secure connec-

widely used to secure Data transmission between Web Browsers and Servers.

SSL provides the following services:

1. Authentication of Users and Servers based on certificates to ensure the Data is
transmitted to the correct User and Server.

2. Encryption of all Data transmission to prevent the Data interception.
