Oracle Advanced Security: Encryption
The Encryption tab enables you to configure encryption parameters for the selected authentication methods.
Note: Use the SSL tab to configure cipher suites for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Encryption
From the list, select the computer you are currently configuring: either Client or Server.
Encryption Type
Select a value to specify the client or server behavior when negotiating encryption and integrity. The four possible encryption types are:
|
Element |
Description |
| accepted |
Service will be active if the other side of the connection specifies either "required" or "requested", and there is a compatible algorithm available on the other side; it will otherwise be inactive. |
| Service must not be active, and the connection will fail if the other side specifies "required". | |
| requested |
Service will be active if the other side of the connection specifies either "accepted", "required", or "requested", and there is a compatible algorithm available on the other side; it will otherwise be inactive. |
| required | Service must be active, and the connection will fail if the other side specifies "rejected", or if there is no compatible algorithm on the other side. |
Encryption Seed
Enter an encryption seed, a random string of up to 256 characters, in the Encryption Seed field. The encryption seed is used to generate cryptographic keys. This is required when either encryption or integrity is enabled.
Note: If you choose to use special characters such as a comma [,] or a right parenthesis [)] as a part of the Encryption Seed parameter, Oracle recommends that the value be enclosed within single quotes.
Available Methods/Selected Methods list
Displays the authentication methods available for selection and the encryption methods selected. The order of the methods in the list determines preferred order for negotiation.
Use the left-arrow button (<) and the right-arrow button (>) to move a selected encryption algorithm between lists. The following encryption algorithms are supported by Oracle Advanced Security:
|
