Programming of an encrypted communication interface for medical devices based on a SSL/TLS encrypted TCP/IP Port.
Supplement
Some medical instruments supporting an encrypted TCP/IP communication which should make the communication of sensitive data more safe. To use the possibility of encrypted communication, the system has to support a communication interface with the corrosponding encryption protocol.
Subject description
To make encrypted SSL/TLS communication using TCP/IP available in the driver, it has to provide an SSL/TLS Port using a valid Certificate out of the Windows Certification Store. As an alternative it is possible to use a pfx File with the matching password to it, if the company does not maintain its own Certification-System. At the income of a encrypted connection request from a device, the keys will be exchanged to with it and the communication process will get started.
