SAP Crypto Software

[Former Member]

Hello!

I want to know if I have to buy aditional components (SAP Crypto Software) to add transportation security using HTTPS protocol to web services, or Document authentication with X509 certificates.

I do not have SAP Crypto Software, can I secure my web services without it?

Thank you,

Sergio Fierens Bayo.
