SNA Server allows you to encrypt data for client-to-server and server-to-server communications, as shown in Figure 10.24.
Figure 10.24 Model of Client-to-Server and Server-to-Server Data Encryption
Client-to-server encryption prevents information from being sent in plaintext between computers running SNA Server Client software and computers running SNA Server. Data encryption enhances network security on the client-to-server communications path for all applications using SNA Server Client connections, including 3270/5250 emulators and APPC logon IDs and passwords. Data encryption can be enabled on a user-by-user basis using the SNA Server Manager.
Server-to-server encryption can be used to provide secure communications across your network, the Internet, or any other wide area network (WAN). If a user enables data encryption, information transferred through the Distributed Link Services is secure.
