About the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack

If you require an encryption level greater than 56-bit RC2 encryption, then you must use the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack, which provides more secure encryption alternatives for your Siebel Enterprise. The Siebel Strong Encryption Pack provides the following:

• AES encryption (128, 192, and 256 bits), using AES Encryptor
• RC2 encryption (128 bits), using RC2 Encryptor

  Siebel Business Applications support RC2 56-bit encryption without requiring that you use the Siebel Strong Encryption Pack.

• 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 and RC2 encryption for data are provided as Siebel business services and are configured using Siebel Tools. For more information, see Configuring Encryption and Search on Encrypted Data.
