Data Encryption
TIBCO MDM does not require and is not affected by data encryption while data is on the wire or stored in a database.
A column, table, or tablespace in a database can be encrypted without any impact on the application. TIBCO MDM itself does not provide any tools to encrypt data (except for passwords stored in configuration files, which are always encrypted by TIBCO MDM).
You can encrypt data in the cache. However, TIBCO MDM does not currently support named user to cache connection.
Encryption of data on the wire is configured using SSL for all data transfers, including:
Patterns does not provide any encryption for the data it stores. To secure the connection, specify the IP addresses of an TIBCO MDM server to Patterns and specify this list when a Pattern server is started. When you specify this list, it accepts the connections only from specified servers (connections from local hosts are always allowed). Although the data transmission is not encrypted, you can encrypt data stored in a database by using the features provided by the database.
You can also encrypt data stored on JMS by using the features provided by the JMS vendor.
