Main PACS Server Demo Security AddIn

This add-in implements Basic TLS Secure Transport Connection Profile of DICOM Standard which utilize the framework and negotiation mechanism specified by the Transport Layer Security Version 1.0 protocol. Any LEADTOOLS PACS Framework server service can be converted to use secure transport connection to provide protection against tampering, eavesdropping, masquerading by simply placing the add-in to the framework's server folder and configuring it. As for example, when router or proxy server need to accept images from remote PACS Client (resident on different geographic location) over the public internet connection, just copying the Leadtools.AddIn.Security.dll to C:\LEADTOOLS23\Bin\Dotnet4\Win32\L21_SERVER32\AddIns\ folder and configuring the certificates will add secure communication capabilities to the router server.

This add-in provides support for following areas of Basic TLS Secure Transport Connection Profile of DICOM standard:

Computer or Entity Authentication - RSA based certificates
Exchange of Master Secrets (RSA)
