Oracle Advanced Security: Encryption

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:

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.
rejected
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.

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:

RC4_256
256 bit key size
3DES168
Triple DES with a three-key (168 bit) option
RC4_128
128 bit key size
3DES112
Triple DES with a two-key (112 bit) option
RC4_56
56 bit key size
DES
Standard 56 bit key size
RC4_40
40 bit key size
DES40
40 bit key size

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.
rejected	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.
