SSL provides the three tenants of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) security to users:
●
●
●
Authentication Ensures that the message being received is from the individual
claiming to send it.
Confidentiality Ensures that the message cannot be read by anyone other than
the intended recipient.
Integrity Ensures that the message is authentic and has not been altered in any
way since leaving the sender.
Dolphin provides some robust features that are typically found in very expensive
hardware-based solutions, including secure authentication, IPSec security, and session
roaming across subnets. Users authenticate to the Dolphin server over the WLAN using
SSL-secured communications and then are granted access to the wired network. Dolphin
supports two groups, users and guests, and you can control the access and quality of
service of each group as follows:
●
●
Users Trusted users who can use IPSec to secure their connection and access all
resources.
Guests Unknown users who are not allowed to use IPSec to secure their
communications and have access control restrictions in place.
Finally, Dolphin supports encrypted wireless network usage through IPSec tunnels.
Through the creation of IPSec VPN tunnels, users can pass data with a higher level of
security (encryption) than WEP provides.
To begin working with Dolphin, you need to register for the Reef Edge TechZone at
http://techzone.reefedge.com . Once this is done, you will be able to download the
CD-ROM ISO image and bootable diskette image files from the Reef Edge download
page. The server that you are using for Dolphin must meet the following minimum
specifications:
