The ProSafe SSL VPN production line is a hardware-based SSL VPN solution designed specifically to provide remote access for mobile users to their corporate resources without requiring a pre-installed VPN client on their laptops. Using the familiar Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, commonly used for e-commerce transactions, the SSL VPN Concentrator can authenticate itself to an SSL-enabled client, such as a standard web browser. Once the authentication and negotiation of encryption information is completed, the server and client can establish an encrypted connection.
