Popis: The aim of the study is to improve the quality and level of security of an information system for monitoring cargo vehicles at production sites via modern encryption methods, which will provide for accurate management decisions in the event of a system breach. In accordance with modern requirements of information security policies, enhancement of information system security assumes the development of data protection concepts and the implementation of the most advanced encryption methods within the information system. The paper presents the authors’ solution for constructing an information system using SSL-based data encryption, SSL standing for the Secure Socket Layer. The characteristic feature of SSL-based encryption is the creation of a public-key cipher. This enables user and server authentication via digital signature technology. In addition, the method produces a session key that can be used to develop a fast symmetric cipher algorithm that allows encrypting of large arrays of information. Based on the proposed concept, the authors develop an information system for monitoring cargo vehicles at production sites that employs SSL-based encryption.
