摘要

The present invention provides a method, a system and an apparatus for transmitting SYSLOG messages. The method includes: transmitting a secure transmission upgrade indication from a SYSLOG message sender to a SYSLOG message receiver; establishing a secure transmission connection on the transport layer connection currently utilized between the message sender and the message receiver; and transmitting the SYSLOG messages between the message sender and message receiver via the secure transmission connection. The system mainly includes the message sender and the message receiver. The present invention enables the transmission of SYSLOG messages to switch between the secure transmission and the transport layer transmission, thus saves system resources while guaranteeing the security of private information.
