In this section:
The DSC Platform provides several security features, based on Telcordia GR815 standard, to ensure authenticated access to functions appropriate for each user and the audit of the work performed by those users.
The DSC Platform support the following firewall functionality:
The IPsec protocol suite is the method for DSC Platform intra-realm security. This protocol suite provides non-encapsulated encryption between two IP endpoints.
IPsec is configurable on an address to address basis (not in Ribbon DSC application).
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the method for inter-realm security. This encryption is done between Ribbon DSC applications and is easier for use across a wider network.
For more information about configuring the DSC Platform firewall, refer to the appropriate section in the DSC - SP2000 Platform Manager User Guide.
