acmet can develop SSL Protocol customized to the given environment with required cryptography algorithms.

The primary goal of the SSL Protocol is to provide privacy and reliability between two communicating applications. The protocol is composed of two layers:

• SSL Record Protocol is layered on top of some reliable transport protocol (e.g., TCP). The SSL Record Protocol is used for encapsulation of various higher-level protocols. - SSL Handshake Protocol allows the server and customer to authenticate each other and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before the application protocol transmits or receives its first byte of data.
• The SSL protocol provides connection security that has three basic properties: - The connection is private. Encryption is used after an initial handshake to define a secret key. Symmetric cryptography is used for data encryption (e.g., DES ) - The peer's identity can be authenticated using asymmetric, or public key, cryptography (e.g., RSA, DSS , etc.). - The connection is reliable. Message transport includes a message integrity check using a keyed MAC. Secure hash functions (e.g., SHA, MD5, etc.) are used for MAC computations

acmet has developed the SSL Protocol Version 3.0 with most of the required Cryptographic algorithms. The Key exchange, Cipher and Hash algorithms supported are as follows:
