TLS
TLS is expanded two ways:
-
A network service that links remote Ethernet networks to provide the appearance and functions of one contiguous network to users, regardless of the underlying technology.
-
A security protocol that replaces the deprecated SSL protocol. TLS provides communication security, privacy, and message integrity over a computer network, and is used in applications such as web browsing, e-mail, and instant messaging.
The NFM-P uses TLS to encrypt the communication between system components.
