Administrator rights
After you install and configure SMART Bridgit server software, you may want to administer the server
to check information such as performance logs and use records. To do this, your administrator needs
physical or remote login access and a user login account on the SMART Bridgit server computer.
About SMART Bridgit security
Server security
SMART Bridgit conferencing software complies with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 to encrypt data
transmitted using a TCP connection. It uses OpenSSL to generate a self-signed SSL certificate used
for data encryption. Each time the server starts, it generates a new 1024-bit SSL certificate and
negotiates a new 256-bit encryption key with each client. However, if a client is unable to negotiate a
set of encryption keys with the server, no connection is established.
SMART Bridgit conferencing software also uses Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) to
encrypt audio traffic transmitted using a UDP connection. These encryptions prevent third parties
from intercepting data transmitted between client and server.
The cipher suite negotiated between a Windows operating system server and client is an AES256-
SHA cipher suite, including RSA encrypted key exchange, digest authentication and 256-bit SSL
data encryption. SMART Bridgit conferencing software for Mac OS X operating system software also
implements 256-bit SSL encryption.
Client security
System administrators and meeting creators can set four types of passwords to enhance SMART
Bridgit software security. These passwords aren't mandatory.
