TIBCO ActiveSpaces® 4.8.0

# Security

ActiveSpaces security is based on the security features of TIBCO FTL.

The following security features are provided:

- Transport encryption
- Authentication and authorization

Transport encryption can be used without authentication and authorization. Transport encryption is used to encrypt any network communication between the processes of your data grid to protect that communication from packet sniffing. For more information, see Enabling Transport Encryption on a Data Grid.

While you can use authentication and authorization without transport encryption, TIBCO recommends that you use transport encryption to securely use authentication and authorization.

Authentication and authorization uses user names and passwords to authenticate the users of the data grid and prevent unwanted users from accessing the data grid. When authentication and authorization is enabled, each ActiveSpaces process authenticates itself to a secure realm service by using the credentials in the password file.

For more information, see Authentication and Authorization.
