Data in motion is moving through the Spotfire environment. Data in motion has certain encryption protection, depending on how and where it is moving.

• Communication between the Spotfire Server and any backend services, like Spotfire Web Player, is always encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
• Data that is transported over the HTTP, LDAP, and JMX protocols can be secured by TLS. The TLS protocol version, the encryption algorithm, and the key strength is configurable using standard Java procedures. See Test or Revert changes to Oracle's JDK and JRE Cryptographic Algorithms in the Java documentation for more information. Also see:
  • Configuring HTTPS
  • Configuring LDAPS
  • config-jmx (--tls-enabled, --need-client-auth)
• Communication with the Spotfire database can be secured by either TLS or vendor-specific encryption protocols. See the documentation for your database vendor for more information about configuring the database server to accept only secured / encrypted connections.
• Communication with databases used as Information Services data sources can also be secured by either TLS or vendor-specific encryption protocols. See the vendor documentation for your database.
