FIPS 140-2 compliant SSL library support

M-Business Anywhere version 7.0 and later provides an SSL library that is compliant with FIPS 140-2. This library automatically secures synchronization between M-Business Client and M-Business Server, as long as the following conditions are met:

  • M-Business Client is running on a Microsoft OS device, or on a Windows desktop.

  • The user is synchronizing securely.

    If M-Business Server is set to allow only secure synchronizations, then all users always synchronize securely. See Configuring M-Business Server to accept only secure connections.

    If M-Business Server is set to allow insecure synchronizations, then it is up to each user to choose to synchronize securely. A custom application could force specific users, or groups of users, to synchronize securely. For more information on creating custom applications, see the M-Business Anywhere Application Developer Guide.

Note

FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption of on-device data is available through SQL Anywhere UltraLite. See Using UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere for On-device Data.
