setting SSL Support on Bitcoin Customer on Windows
As a Bitcoin Customer User, Connecting to the External System Network Can Be Safe and Reliable. However, a Potential Safety Concern is the use of secure sockets Layer (SSL) Connections. In this article, we will explore how to configure SSL Support on the Bitcoin Customer for Windows.
Why Does SSL Support Matter?
Before Diving Into the Configuration Process, It is Essential to Understand Why SSL Support is required. By default, Bitcoin Customers on Windows Do Not Use SSL/TLS (Transport Layer Security), which encrypts the data Sent between the customer and the server. This may make your connection vulnerable to spy on or intercept by third parties.
