TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY (TLS)
ALIF and A.I.M. units support the industry standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) 
protocol. This offers protection against eavesdropping and tampering by third parties 
when data are transferred between ALIF transmitters and receivers across networks and 
also between ALIF units and the A.I.M. server(s).
