Verbs supporting Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, developed by Netscape Development Corporation, provides communications privacy over the Internet. Client/server applications can use the SSL protocol to provide secure communications and prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
CCA provides verbs that support the
RSA encryption and decryption of PKCS 1.2-formatted symmetric key data to produce symmetric session
keys. These session keys can then be used to establish an SSL session between the sender and
receiver. The verbs provide SSL support:
- PKA Decrypt (CSNDPKD)
- PKA Encrypt (CSNDPKE)
