Mobile server data encryption
In XProtect VMS, encryption is enabled or disabled per mobile server. When you enable encryption on a mobile server, you will have the option to use encrypted communication with all clients, services, and integrations that retrieve data streams.
The graphic illustrates the basic concept of how certificates are signed, trusted, and distributed in XProtect VMS to secure the communication with the mobile server.

A CA certificate acts as a trusted third party, trusted by both the subject/owner (mobile server) and by the party that verifies the certificate (all clients)
The CA certificate must be trusted on all clients. In this way, clients can verify the validity of the certificates issued by the CA
The CA certificate is used to establish a secure connection between the mobile server and clients and services
The CA certificate must be installed on the computer on which the mobile server is running
