| Configuring transport-level security | WSO2 products support a variety of transports that make them capable of receiving and sending messages over a multitude of transport and application-level protocols. By default, all WSO2 products come with the HTTP transport. The transport receiver implementation of the HTTP transport is available in Carbon. The transport sender implementation comes from the Tomcat HTTP connector, which is configured in the This also covers how you can protect your system from common security attacks. For example, 'Poodle' is a bug in the SSL version 3 protocol, which exposes critical data encrypted between clients and servers. 'Logjam' is a security threat (man-in-the-middle attack), which is caused by weak ciphers. These security vulnerabilities can be avoided by configuring transport level security. For more information on securing the HTTP transport, see Configuring transport level security in the WSO2 Carbon documentation. |
| Configuring keystores | A keystore is a repository that stores the cryptographic keys and certificates. These artifacts are used for encrypting sensitive information, and establishing trust between your server and outside parties that connect to your server. All WSO2 products come with a default keystore ( See the following in the WSO2 Carbon documentation:

| Securing sensitive passwords | As a secure vault implementation is available in all WSO2 products, you can encrypt the sensitive data such as passwords in configuration files using the Cipher tool. See the following in the WSO2 Carbon documentation: |
