HiT SSL Server Data Sheet
HiT SSL Server is a standards-based encryption
and authentication server to secure SQL data flows over TCP/IP networks.
It prevents unauthorized access to data flows between external applications
and DB2 servers. HiT SSL Server provides this security by transparently
enabling the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) v3.0 protocol between HiT
SQL middleware products (JDBC, OLEDB, and ODBC) and the system where
the 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. HiT
SSL Server supports 3DES (128-bit encryption) and DES40 (4-bit encryption) security levels. 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 will run on any Java 1.2 or later platform.
