Using SSL Encryption

If your SequeLink environment requires greater data privacy than that provided by fixed-key DES, fixed-key 3DES, or byteswap, you can use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt data exchanged between the ODBC Client and the SequeLink Server.

SequeLink supports the use of anonymous ciphers. Anonymous ciphers allow the SSL connection to succeed without proper authentication of the peer by using the DH algorithm. The ODBC Client supports the following cryptographic strong SSL cipher suites:

SSL_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5
SSL_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_DES_40_CBC_SHA
SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
SSL_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
SSL_DH_anon_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
