Two new cipher suites are available in Adaptive Server version 12.5.3. They are:
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
These cipher suites use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is now available for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in Adaptive Server version 12.5.3. AES is a FIPS-197 - approved standard for symmetric encryption. The AES algorithm provides the strongest encryption available for Adaptive Server.
The AES algorithm and dependent cipher suites used in SSL are available by default in Adaptive Server 12.5.3 and Open Client 12.5.1. No action is required by users or administrators to use this algorithm unless algorithms are currently restricted client applications. If you have clients that currently restrict algorithms, you may want to consider using AES algorithm instead.
