About Siebel Strong Encryption

If you require encryption, then you must use Siebel Strong Encryption, which provides secure encryption for your Siebel Enterprise. Siebel Strong Encryption provides the following:

• AES encryption (128, 192, and 256 bits), using AES Encryptor
• Key Database Upgrade utility

  This utility decrypts the key file (if previously encrypted with a 56-bit or 128-bit RC2 encryption key) and then re-encrypts the key file with a longer key and a more secure algorithm.

AES encryption for data is provided as a Siebel business service and is configured using Siebel Tools. For more information, see Configuring Encryption and Search on Encrypted Data.
