Adaptive Server uses encryption technology to secure communications with clients. Beginning with version 12.5.2, Adaptive Server uses FIPS-certified algorithms for SSL encryption. Adaptive Server version 12.5.2 can also protect backups using passwords.
SSL is the standard for securing the transmission of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, stock trades, and banking transactions over the Internet. It relies on public key cryptography.
SSL implementation now uses FIPS 140-2 certified algorithms. These algorithms are available through:
FIPS-140-2 Certified Crypto Module on Windows (Certicom’s SB/GSE – NIST Certificate #316 with validation dates of 05/13/2003 and 06/30/2003)
FIPS certified algorithms on Solaris 32- and 64-bit platforms through Certicom’s SB Crypto-C.
