Hi !
This is not sapdb related, but may be of interest for many developers
who want to use a database to store encrypted data:
We use the AES encryption Algorithm to store the data into the DB. This
is a symetric algorithm, and it uses only private keys. If you need a
public key you have to use a public key algorithm for private key
exchange and then use the private keys to code the data with a symetric
algorithm.
AES is the successor of DES and the new data encryption standard ...
We use Java: JCE and JDBC, there are some cryptography Frameworks available,
that are free to use in Java, for example cryptix. (JCE is the Java
Cryptography Extensions API defined by SUN).
As far as i know, SAPDB does not provide native encryption facilities,
and because this is really more the application domain (because of
key management etc), it is the right decision not to include this into the
Database.
