| Anonymous | Audium does not natively support SSL for communication with the voice browser or when using the XML-over-HTTP API. One reason for this is that SSL introduces overhead that can be detrimental to the performance of the voice application. Additionally, most of our customers place the voice browser along with the Audium server in the same data center behind a firewall, primarily for performance purposes, though they get security out of it as well.
However since elements are built using Java, there is nothing preventing you from creating an SSL interface for just those sections of the voice application that demand it. For example, one can build an action element that initiates an SSL connection to a credit card processor.
Yes, the credit card itself is still sent from the voice browser to the Audium Server. To that end, we are investigating the demand for SSL from our customers and considering SSL support for a future release. |
