SAS
offers encryption features to help you to protect information
on disk and in transit. Passwords in configuration files and in the metadata
are encrypted or encoded. Passwords in transit to and from SAS servers 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. If you do not have SAS/SECURE, you can use
the SASProprietary algorithm, which uses 32-bit keys and is appropriate for
preventing accidental exposure of information.
