Installing the SAS SVC Routine. Encryption is the process of transforming
plaintext into a less readable form (called ciphertext) by using a
mathematical process. The ciphertext is translated back to plaintext
for anyone who can supply the appropriate key, which is necessary
for decrypting (or unlocking) the ciphertext.
For complete details
about using network security, see the
SAS/CONNECT User's Guide. After network security is set up in your environment, you set a SAS
encryption option that is appropriate to the network security service and to the requirements
of the client or the server session.
