Device client communications, back-end server communications, and Unwired Platform system server communications can all be encrypted.
To fully secure the network communications of all components in a Unwired Platform enabled production environment, you need to enable encryption in the following areas of an Unwired Platform-enabled production environment:
- Front-line data exchange: Encrypting replication based synchronization data that is transfered between device clients and Unwired Platform components.
For RBS device clients, you also have to install a keystore with the HTTPS server's keys on the client as well. For MBS device clients, data is always encrypted and does not require any further configuration.
- Back-end server data exchange: Sending data change notifications by using a secure interface that notifies Unwired Server of changes to EIS data.
- Administrative data: Encrypting data exchanged among Sybase Control Center and Unwired Server.
