Abstract
A system for automatic setting of system security comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive an indication to set a secure mode. The processor is configured to: determine whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode; in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode: 1) detect one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode; 2) select one or more certificates for the certificate mode; 3) update initialization files for the certificate mode; and 4) reinitialize local and one or more connected systems.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- determine to set communication with the system to a secure mode;
- in response to determining to set the communication with the system to the secure mode,
- detect one or more connected systems for which to set to the secure mode;
- select one or more certificates to use for communication with the one or more connected systems in connection with the secure mode;
- and
- set the communication between the system and the one or more connected systems to the secure mode based at least in part on the one or more selected certificates;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.
A method for automatic setting of system security, comprising:
- determining to set communication with the system to a secure mode;
- and
- in response to determining to set the communication with the system to the secure mode,
- detecting one or more connected systems for which to set to the secure mode;
- selecting one or more certificates to use for communication with the one or more connected systems in connection with the secure mode;
- and
- setting the communication between the system and the one or more connected systems to the secure mode based at least in part on the one or more selected certificates.
A computer program product for automatic setting of system security, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- determining to set communication with the system to a secure mode;
- and
- in response to determining to set the communication with the system to the secure mode,
- detecting one or more connected systems for which to set to the secure mode;
- selecting one or more certificates to use for communication with the one or more connected systems in connection with the secure mode;
- and
- setting the communication between the system and the one or more connected systems to the secure mode based at least in part on the one or more selected certificates.
