Hi experts,

What are the different standard ways of doing encryption in PI 7.31

One way that i know is SFTP PGP addon. What are the other options available

Thanks for your help

Encryption is based on different communication standards (protocols)  like FTP(SFTP) , HTTP(S)..

Example SSL encryption with digital certificate  is for Https communication.  Please refer online for the different encryption techniques. SOAP adapter uses http transport communication. So it uses https standard encryption.

You can also do message level encryption using java mapping ... Here you have to choose algorithm and do accordingly encrypt and decrypt the message.

Hi Baskar,

Thanks for a very useful reply....What is the difference between SSL encryption and message level encryption...

SSL encryptionn - encypts only the line over which data passes

Message level encryption - encrypts even the payload

Is the above assumption correct

[baskar_gopalakrishnan2 · Accepted solution]

Yes That's correct. SSL encryption does server level validation.
