HiT SSL Server:
Data Security and SSL Data Encryption Solution for HiT ODBC, OLEDB
and JDBC Connectivity Products
HiT SSL Server is exclusively available to customers who are using HiT Software's ODBC, OLEDB and JDBC
products and need to secure SQL data over a TCP/IP network.
HiT SSL Server provides encryption and authentication for SQL network traffic. HiT
SSL Server is an all-Java, standards-based encryption and authentication server to secure SQL data flows over
TCP/IP networks. It prevents unauthorized access to data by transparently enabling the Secure Sockets
Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) protocol between HiT ODBC, HiT OLEDB and HiT JDBC, and the systems where
HiT SSL Server is installed. For example, to secure SQL data traffic between a web application server and a DB2
server, HiT SSL Server can be run at the DB2 server. The HiT JDBC/DB2, which includes necessary SSL client
support, would be used on the web application server. Once configured, authentication and encryption services are
enabled thereafter between the two machines.
The Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) has emerged as the Internet standard for
authentication/encryption and also uses the X.509 certification standard. HiT SSL Server uses the Digital
Signature Standard (DSS), with the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for data encryption. levelsHiT SSL Server supports
and uses Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) approved Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. Using a
multi-threaded internal design, HiT SSL Server scales extremely well for high data traffic loads. Support for SSL
version v3.0 ensures a mature, robust security mechanism.
Also included is the HiT SSL Toolbox, a set of easy-to-use graphical tools for
certificate generation and encryption and decryption keys. Java command-line tools are also available. HiT
SSL Toolbox can either be run on the SSL Server machine or from a separate system.
HiT SSL Server runs on any operating system running JVM 1.4 or later.
