Securing data transmissions between WebSpeed client and server components

Transmitting data over the Internet exposes your WebSpeed site to a host of potentially hostile activities. By using the Secure HTTP Protocol (HTTPS) and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you can transmit data to and from external destinations in a secure manner. The sections that follow briefly discuss how your WebSpeed applications can benefit from each of these industry-accepted protocols.
If you intend to use secure transmissions, it is important that you read OpenEdge Getting Started: Core Business Services - Security and Auditing for a more detailed discussion of these technologies. This manual explains the relevant concepts and gives instructions for using the keys, certificates, and management tools that OpenEdge provides.
