Security
iLO uses 128-bit SSL and SSH frameworks to ensure privacy of iLO actions, depending on the access
modes and types of functions being performed. Within these frameworks, iLO supports RC4, 3DES, and
AES ciphers. Key exchange uses RSA/Diffie-Hellman, and keys rotate every 3 minutes. Certificates are
generated using 1024-bit RSA keys signed with MD5RSA and using a SHA1 fingerprint.
