| OpenSSL 0.9.6 |
OpenSSL is the open source cryptographic toolkit for implementing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols over TCP/IP networks. Both protocols are used for information encryption and authentication of sites and clients with X509 digital certificates. OpenSSL provides 128-bit encryption -- the strongest cryptography available for Apache-base servers -- and is essential encryption for Web operations.
|
| Digital Server ID |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology authenticates your web site and uses 128-bit encryption to secure transmission of confidential information between you and your customers.
|
| mod_authz_ldap |
This open messaging and directory protocol allows most applications running on any platform to obtain directory information, such as user names, host names, email addresses, and public keys from LDAP servers. The mod_auth_ldap enables Apache to authenticate users against a LDAP directory. |
