Hi everyone :slight_smile:

I’m asking myself how exactly work encryption in GVM. Is there a good documentation which can explain for exemple if stored credentials are encrypted, how communication are encrypted between GSA and GVMD, when is used certificate architecture generated at installation ?

Thanks !

Hi,

maybe something like this helps you its the source code search for tls in gvmd https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/search?q=tls&unscoped_q=tls

or for ssh key https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/blob/master/src/lsc_user.c#L48-L61

Cheers,
Carl
