Why does Antamedia HotSpot require SSL?
SSL technology is essential in protecting sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) especially in a WIFI hotspot environment where information is passed over unencrypted airways. Antamedia HotSpot ships with a self-signed certificate that provides this protection out of the box. However, this self-signed certificate is not recognized as being issued from a trusted source by web browsers and results in browsers displaying, often alarming, security messages which may drive away customers.
