Austauschdaten unter Verwendung einer Verschlüsselung mit öffentlichem Schlüssel

摘要

A method and system for exchanging private data over an insecure network using public key encryption provide for generating a public/private key pair of a network peripheral (301), exposing the public key of the network peripheral in a network management protocol (303), receiving encrypted configuration data from a remote network configuration protocol tool 305, and decrypting configuration data with the private key of the network peripheral and applying decrypted network configuration data to the configuration of the network peripheral (307).
