You can increase the security for usernames and passwords by adding public-key cryptography to your web-based AASHTOWare Project software infrastructure. This is accomplished by using digital certificates and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. For more information on this topic, see the Web-Based AASHTOWare Project Installation Instructions (a print document included in the application installation package).
Note: Using SSL encryption slows the performance between HTTP servers and browsers.
