    Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS Introduction to SSL/TLS Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network, so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
  • Page 112 Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Brief History of SSL/TLS Brief History of SSL/TLS SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers and servers. SSL is now used with additional applications, such as Telnet, printer, and FTP software, in order to become a universal solution for online security.
  • Page 113 Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Benefits of Using SSL/TLS Benefits of Using SSL/TLS The primary benefit of using SSL/TLS is to guarantee secure printing over an IP network by restricting unauthorised users from reading data sent to the machine. SSL's most important benefit is that it can be used to print confidential data securely.
