• None - No encryption applied. This applies to releases prior to LANSA Communication Extensions V10.0.
• DES - Data Encryption Standard. This standard was adopted by ANSI in 1981. DES is a block cipher, it encrypts data in 64 bit blocks. The key length is 64 bits.
• TWOFISH - Twofish is a 128 bit block cipher. The key length can be 128, 192 or 256 bits, however, due to US restrictions, LANSA only uses a key length of 128 bits. Twofish is one of the five finalists for the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES). This standard was introduced by NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology).

• SSL – Secure Socket Layer. SSL and its successor TLS v1 are today the most widely used protocols providing end-to-end encryption of network communications.This is the recommended option for best data encryption protection. The current implementation is based on OpenSSL on all platforms. See http://www.openssl.org+

  for more information about OpenSSL. Our use of OpenSSL does not require certificates for server authentication.
