SAS offers encryption features to help you protect information
on disk and in transit. When passwords must be stored, they are encrypted
or otherwise encoded. Passwords that are transmitted by SAS are also
encrypted or encoded. You can choose to encrypt all traffic instead
of encrypting only credentials.
If you have
SAS/SECURE, you can use an industry standard
encryption algorithm such as AES.
SAS/SECURE is an add-on product
that is licensed separately and offers maximum protection. This product
includes support of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
140-2 encryption specification. If you do not have
SAS/SECURE, you
can use the SASProprietary algorithm to help protect information.
