Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a widely-implemented protocol which provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Enabled with SSL, PowerTerm gives you the choice to transmit the data to a secure server which is equipped with SSL.

PowerTerm Java Client secured version deploys the new "lightweight" version 3.1 version of RSA SSL product. As a result the size of the downloaded RSA SSL libraries was reduced from 600 K to 150 K.

The Secure PowerTerm Java Client is now also provided for Netscape Communicator, HotJava Browser and Internet Explorer.
