Intersystems Caché - Class for Data Encryption

Question

I wonder which class is the class that I use to encrypt data (first time string data) and the best method of encryption (among those supported by caché). Must generate a strong encryption for data in my project.

Any help is welcome. If someone can show me some example, I'll be even more grateful.

Answer 1

Please state what exactly do you want to encrypt. To encrypt the whole database, there is a setting in System Management Portal, this encryption is certified in US. To encrypt data transfers, you may use SSH (see %Net.SSH.*), HTTPS (see %Net.HttpRequest with Https property), and Web Services with WS-Security (see documentation). To encrypt just any string internally, see $system.Encryption.Help().
