Overview of Network Communications

TIBCO Patterns supports encrypting network communications to ensure security.

The communication between the components of TIBCO Patterns standalone server and a cluster of servers is demonstrated in the following images:

Encrypting Network Communications

TIBCO Patterns supports the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) standards for encrypting network communications.

TIBCO Patterns supports both self-signed certificates and certificates signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. However, the configuration for self-signed certificates is significantly more complex. Using self-signed certificates with the Java API or .NET API might require custom API programming.

Encrypting network communications incurs a performance penalty. In most use cases, this penalty is very less.

Warning: Private Key files must be placed only on encrypted drives, and must not be accessible to unauthorized users.
