Secure Socket Layer
SSL allows encryption of the TCP data traffic and is practically the standard for encryption of Internet data (e.g. online banking).
The encryption mechanisms are available as libraries, e.g.: RC4 (128 bit key), Triple DES, MD5, SHA-1 (160 bit).
Specific features
- Specifically optimized for embedded applications (code size, memory requirement and performance)
- Easily portable via ANSI-C source code
- Adapted for NicheStack v4, NicheStack v6 and NicheStack Dual v4v6
- Can be used with or without operating system
Supported standards
- SSL2.0, SSL3.0, TLS1.0
- 1024 Bit Key Generation and Triple DES Encryption
- RSA and Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange
- RC4 (128 Bit) and Triple-DES (168 Bit) Cipher Keys
- MD5 (128 Bit Hash) and SHA-1 (160 Bit Hash) Message Digests
