The implementation of the installed
encryption technology depends on the environment that you work in. If you work in a SAS enterprise
intelligence infrastructure, encryption might be transparent to you because it has
already been configured into your site's overall security plan. After the encryption
technology has been installed, the site system administrator configures the encryption
method (level of encryption) to be used in all client/server data exchanges. All enterprise
activity uses the chosen level of encryption, by default.
If you work in a SAS session on a client computer that exchanges data with a SAS server,
specify SAS system options that implement encryption for the duration of the SAS session.
If you connect a
SAS/CONNECT client to a spawner, specify encryption options in
the spawner start-up command. For details about SAS system options,
see
SAS System Options for Encryption. For examples, see
Encryption Technologies: Examples.
