Data Transfer with SSL/TLS

To secure data transfer, TIBCO MFT Platform Server for IBM i supports data transfer with Transport Layer Security (TLS). Communications between servers and clients require secure data transfers over the Internet. Secure data transfers involve more than encrypting data. With TLS, you can perform data encryption, and server and client authentication.

In addition, the platform server pushes data transfer with TLS one step further by providing support for compliance with HIPAA or FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140 regulations.

For more information about data transfer with TLS, see the following topics:
  • TLS Authentication
  • Data Encryption with TLS
  • Compliance with HIPAA or FIPS Regulation

For information on TLS configuration, see TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for IBM i Installation Guide.

Note: The term SSL and TLS are used interchangeably in this document. Platform Server only supports TLS protocols; it does not support SSLV2 or SSLV3. When the term SSL is used, TLS is used for all file transfer activities.
