If the client requests message protection services:
The client uses the security mechanism to prepare the data packet it sends to Adaptive Server.
Depending upon which security services are requested, the security mechanism might encrypt the data or create a cryptographic signature associated with the data.
The client sends the data packet to Adaptive Server.
When Adaptive Server receives the data packet, it uses the security mechanism to perform any required decryption and validation.
Adaptive Server returns results to the client, using the security mechanism to perform the security functions that were requested; for example, Adaptive Server may return the results in encrypted form.
