Defining Data Encryption

You can use the ENCRYPT parameter to specify whether to encrypt data or not, or specify the encryption algorithm for file transfers.

Note: If you do not specify the encryption algorithm to use, the Platform Server still encrypts the password by using its proprietary encryption algorithm.

You can specify the encryption algorithm by using the following methods:

GLOBAL Definition: Specifies a default encryption algorithm for the entire system.
NODE Definition: Specifies a default encryption algorithm for a particular node. NODE definition overrides any GLOBAL definitions for a particular node.
Transfer Interface Definition: Specifies the definitive encryption algorithm for a single transfer request. Transfer Interface definition overrides any GLOBAL or NODE definitions for a particular transfer.
