Not in 7.1.00, but use of FIPS-certified encryption modules within the Encryption products is tentatively targeted for the mid-2008 release. Thanks, -David J.

We looked into Remedy Encryption, but it didn't offer a FIPS compliant encryption algorithm, so it was not compliant with my customer's security requirements. BMC said that it will likely offer this level in future releases (not sure if v7 is there yet or not).

Just bear in mind that this is a method of transport relies on a sort of local proxy manages sessions between both end points. IPSec is another alternative; it operates at a lower level of the OSI model and will give you some added benefits depending on your security paradigm. Another alternative would be to look into the Remedy encryption products. This would in essence do the same thing as STunnel, but instead of relying on a separate process, it would be native to the arserver (a plugin or library if you will). There is also a base level of encryption that is included in the product. see http://arswiki.org/wiki/Securing_ARS#Remedy_Encryption_Products Axton Grams On 10/2/07, Jeff Lockemy (Serco North America) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
