Applying encryption methods

You can set SMART Response CE software to use SSL or Diffie-Hellman encryption. SSL encryption allows other programs to access SMART Response CE software. Diffie-Hellman encryption (the default method) doesn’t allow other programs to access SMART Response CE software.

Notes 

  • The system administrator can override this setting.

  • You must put SMART Response software in SMART Notebook SE software mode or Multiple devices mode to configure the encryption method.

ClosedTo apply an encryption method

  1. Start Teacher Tools. See Starting Teacher Tools.

    Teacher Tools appears.

  2. Select Teacher Tools > Preferences from the menu bar.

    The SMART Response Preferences dialog box appears.

  3. Click the Encryption tab.

  4. Select Diffie Hellman or SSL Digital Certificate from the Method drop-down list.

    If you selected SSL Digital Certificate, additional options appear:

    • Select Automatically generated certificate if you want SMART Response CE software to generate and use a security certificate.

    • Select Imported certificate, and then browse to and select the certificate you want to import, to use an existing certificate.

  5. Click OK.
