Part 2: The 32-Bit/64-Bit Drivers : The Oracle Wire Protocol Driver : Connection Option Descriptions : Encryption Method
  
Encryption Method
Attribute
EncryptionMethod (EM)
Purpose
The method the driver uses to encrypt data sent between the driver and the database server. If the specified encryption method is not supported by the database server, the connection fails and the driver returns an error.
Valid Values
0 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 5
Behavior
If set to 0 (No Encryption), data is not encrypted.
If set to 1 (SSL), data is encrypted using SSL. If the server supports protocol negotiation, the driver and server negotiate the use of TLS v1, SSL v3, or SSL v2 in that order.
If set to 3 (SSL3), the driver uses SSL3 data encryption.
If set to 4 (SSL2), the driver uses SSL2 data encryption.
If set to 5 (TLS1), the driver uses TLS1 data encryption.
Notes
*Consult your database administrator concerning the SSL settings of your Oracle server.
*This connection option can affect performance.
