In a distributed client/server computing environment intruders can view or tamper with confidential data. Adaptive Server works with third-party providers to give you security services that:
Authenticate users, clients, and servers – make sure they are who they say they are.
Provide data confidentiality with encryption – ensure that data cannot be read by an intruder.
Provide data integrity – prevent data tampering and detect when it has occurred.
Table 14-1 lists the security mechanisms supported by Adaptive Server on UNIX and desktop platforms.
