There are two aspects to securing interactions between
SAP Mobile Platform Runtime and EIS systems.
- Device application EIS connections – Whenever a connection to the EIS is configured as an
endpoint, SAP recommends that
you use an encrypted connection. To encrypt
the
connection established by an application, configure the security settings in
the connection properties or connection templates. For details, see Security Settings in SAP Control Center
for SAP Mobile Platform.
- Notification communications – Indirect injections from the EIS to the cache database must
be secured. These runtime injections are known as data change notifications
(DCNs). You must authenticate a DCN event before the transaction occurs.
This chapter documents this mechanism.
