How does Java System Web Proxy Server enhance security?
Java System Web Proxy Server enhances security in the following ways: • Network screening prevents external audiences from being able to view the network structure and addresses. • Access control and content filtering ensure that network resources are not used inappropriately. • Java System Web Proxy Server facilitates communication through most firewalls in four ways: • Web content such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Gopher • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunneling for encrypted communications such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) and SNEWS using Netscape Communicator or another SSL-compatible Web client • HTTPS proxying, which creates a secure session on behalf of a nonsecure Web client • SOCKS, which allows nonproxied protocols to be passed through the firewall • Reverse proxying lets Java System Web Proxy Server represent a Web server to the public, while allowing the Web server to remain secure behind the firewall.
