Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an applicationlevel protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed). It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys. HTTPS on the Switch is used so that you may securely access the Switch using the web configurator. When a computer requests an HTTPS (secure) connection, the Switch sends its certificate to the computer. The user decides if he wants to trust the certificate. If the user decides to trust the certificate, the certificate is used in building the HTTPS connection. Please refer to the following figure. ES-2108 Series User's Guide 215

Introduction to HTTPS
HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web
protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-
level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an
unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the
other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).
It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys.
HTTPS on the Switch is used so that you may securely access the Switch using the web
configurator. When a computer requests an HTTPS (secure) connection, the Switch sends its
certificate to the computer. The user decides if he wants to trust the certificate. If the user
decides to trust the certificate, the certificate is used in building the HTTPS connection.
