Using Secure Communications Encryption with AES
AES Security Mechanism
The Actian X security mechanism AES provides secure connections between the client and the DBMS Server by using the AES encryption algorithm. The AES mechanism uses both AES and RSA keys and provides a higher level of security than the INGRES mechanism.
There are two distinct types of network connections where AES can be enabled:
1. Applications running in client installations connecting to server installations over Ingres Net and GCA Remote Access (GCR). Applications include ODBC, ESQLC, OpenROAD, terminal monitor, and so on—all non-JDBC and non-.NET applications. This type of encryption can also be enabled for a Data Access Server (DAS) if not running in the same installation as the DBMS.
2. JDBC and .NET applications connecting to a Data Access Server (DAS).
