Data Transfer with SSL

To secure data transfer, TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS supports data transfer with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Communications between servers and clients require secure data transfers over the Internet. Secure data transfers involve more than encrypting data. With SSL, you can perform data encryption, and server and client authentication. In addition, the Platform Server pushes data transfer with SSL one step further by providing support for compliance with HIPAA or FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140 regulations.

For information of SSL configuration, see TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation 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.
