Subject: [NV-L] Communications used by Web Client
I've been asked the question "Does the Web Client use HTTP or HTTPS?" That
seems to be the wrong question. I use the Java Applet and I can see it uses
its own socket. I see that Jetty supports secure sockets. The larger
question I can't answer is the overall one on security.
* How secure is the session between NV Web Client and NV Web Server?
* Is the transmission encrypted?
* Does it use Secure Sockets?
In its simplest terms I think my questioner wants to know;
* Can a snoop with a sniffer see the data in plain form as it
traverses the network?
