Description

The DATA_ENCRYPTION option specifies whether or not all data sent over the network is encrypted.

Encryption protects the privacy of the data. UNVv2 data encryption uses one of several encryption algorithms, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.

SSL/TLS data encryption uses one of the SSL/TLS cipher suites specified with the DATA_SSL_CIPHER_LIST option.

Values

option is the specification for whether or not data is encrypted.

Valid values for option are:

  • yes
    Data encryption is required. All network data transfers are encrypted regardless of UCMD Server's DATA_ENCRYPTION option.
  • no
    Data encryption is not required. However, UCMD Server still can request data encryption via its DATA_ENCRYPTION option.

Default is no.
