Quality of Protection

Quality of Protection (QoP) is the degree to which ISAM protects any information that is transmitted between a client and a server.

The quality of data protection is determined by the combined effect of encryption standards and modification-detection algorithms. The resource manager is responsible for ensuring the quality of data protection is enforced. ISAM supports the following levels of Quality of Protection:

• Standard Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication (no protection)
• Data integrity protects messages (data stream) from being modified during network communication
• Data privacy protects messages from being modified or inspected during network communication

• Supported encryption ciphers
  ISAM uses encryption ciphers from GSKit and Java™ Secure Socket Extension (JSSE).
• Secure communication
  ISAM supports the data integrity and data privacy provided by the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communication protocol and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication protocol.
