5 TLS and Secure Network Protocols

Communication security is the confidentiality and integrity of the information sent over communications channels, such as TCP/IP-based networks.

Secure communication implies confidentiality and integrity of data sent over communications channels, such as TCP/IP-based networks. It uses cryptographic protocols to provide communication security over the network.The TLS protocol provides privacy and data integrity when:

• Routing data using the distribution path between the Distribution and Receiver Server.

• Communicating between Oracle GoldenGate and the client applications (web browser, Admin Client or any other Rest API calls)

When secured by TLS, connections between a client and a server should have one or more of the following properties:

• The connection is private (or secure) because cryptography is used to encrypt the data transmitted

• The identity of the communicating parties can be authenticated using public-key cryptography The connection is reliable because each message transmitted includes a message integrity check using a message authentication code to prevent undetected loss or alteration of the data during transmission.
