# ASE Cluster SSL

ASE supports SSL over TCP for securing communications between nodes in a cluster. It uses TLS 1.2 to encrypt the communications.

You can configure SSL in ASE using one of the following three methods:

* [Using the default certificate](pingintelligence_using_the_default_certificate.html)

* [Creating a new SSL certificate](pingintelligence_securing_ase_cluster.html)

* [Importing an existing certificate and key pair](pingintelligence_importing_existing_certificate_keypair.html)
