QxControl HTTPS Encryption

Written by Tom Buckley | Jan 16, 2024 4:19:05 PM

Qumulex understands the importance of security and delivers QxControl as secure browser-based experience. QxControl leverages HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encryption, which is a protocol used by web browsers to secure the communication between a user’s browser and a website’s server.  

Simply put, HTTPS adds a layer of encryption to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data exchanged when using a browser interface. This process allows QxControl to be secure both when connected to the cloud, and also protects you in offline mode. Our Web based solution contacts the gateway allowing you to log into QxControl securely on your local network when the internet connection has been interrupted.

Certificates & Authentication

HTTPS involves the use of digital certificates issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs). These certificates validate the identity of the website’s server, ensuring that users are connecting to the intended, legitimate site and not a malicious one attempting to impersonate it.

This helps defend against problems like man-in-the-middle attacks where an attacker intercepts and manipulates the communication between the user and the server, because HTTPS encryption makes it significantly harder for attackers to eavesdrop on or modify the data. Or data interception, where attackers may attempt to capture sensitive information.
