Objective

Certificates are used to verify the user identity on a computer or Internet and to enhance a private or secured conversation. On the RV320, you can add a maximum of 50 certificates through self-signing or third-party authorization. You can export a certificate for a client or for an administrator, save that in a PC or USB  and then import that. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. To be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires a SSL Certificate.
