Protecting SharePoint 2010 with Transport Security Options
A SharePoint environment provides two types of transport-level encryption. The first and most critical are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates. These certificates protect the traffic between clients and the servers by encrypting the packets using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption. The second type of transport-level encryption useful for SharePoint 2010 is IPsec encryption between servers in a SharePoint farm, such as between a SharePoint role server and the SQL Database server. Both of these options are discussed in more detail in Chapter 17, “Safeguarding Confidential Data in SharePoint 2010.”
