CAICCI Secure Sockets Facility (CCISSF)

For CAICCI users who have the highest-level security requirements or must be compliant with certain governmental security certifications, CCISSF provides a solution. CCISSF transmits any data from components or products using CAICCI (such as CA NSM) over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection, which is a highly secure encryption mechanism.

As installed, CAICCI transmits data from point to point using traditional TCP/IP services, which means the application defines the format and encryption level of the data exchanged. Therefore, products that use CAICCI secure data areas that are sensitive to a product. CCISSF effectively “wraps” all data in an encrypted envelope. The resultant transmission is significantly more resistant to attacks, reverse engineering, and accidental or malicious intrusion.
