Using Secure Communications Encryption with AES
AES Security Mechanism
The Ingres 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).
Note: This feature is not available on VMS.
