4 Secure Network Communication in TimesTen

Some features in TimesTen, such as client/server and replication, use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure network communication between TimesTen instances. TLS is a secure and standard protocol that encrypts connections. It ensures communication is authenticated, encrypted, and protected from tampering.

These topics are discussed here:

• Overview of TLS in TimesTen

• Cipher Suites in TimesTen

• About Certificates and Oracle Wallets

• Transport Layer Security for TimesTen Client/Server

• Transport Layer Security for TimesTen Replication

Note:

TLS configuration in TimesTen does not apply to communication between TimesTen and Oracle Database, such as when cache is used. Secure TimesTen-Oracle communications can be configured through settings in the sqlnet.ora file used for connections to Oracle Database.
