illegal clients;
z

and integrity, thus realizing the security management of the device;
z
Defines certificate attribute-based access control policy for the device to control the access right of
the client, in order to further avoid attacks from illegal clients.
The total number of HTTP connections and HTTPS connections on a device cannot exceed five.
