Part 2: The 32-Bit/64-Bit Drivers : The Oracle Wire Protocol Driver : Connection Option Descriptions : Encryption Types
  
Encryption Types
Attribute
EncryptionTypes (ET)
Purpose
Specifies a comma-separated list of the encryption algorithms to use if Oracle Advanced Security encryption is enabled using the Encryption Level connection property.
Valid Values
encryption_algorithm [[, encryption_algorithm ]...]
where:
encryption_algorithm
is a encryption algorithm specifying an algorithm in the following table:
AES256 | RC4_256 | AES192 | 3DES168 | AES128 | RC4_128 | 3DES112 | RC4_56 | DES | RC4_40
Encryption Algorithm
Description
3DES112
Two-key Triple-DES (with an effective key size of 112-bit).
AES128
AES with a 128-bit key size.
AES192
AES with a 192-bit key size.
AES256
AES with a 256-bit key size.
DES
DES (with an effective key size of 56-bit).
DES168
Three-key Triple-DES (with an effective key size of 168-bit).
RC4_128
RC4-128 with a 128-bit key size.
RC4_256
RC4 with a 256-bit key size.
RC4_40
RSA RC4 with a 40-bit key size.
RC4_56
RSA RC4 with a 56-bit key size.
Example
Your security environments specifies that you can use RC4 with a 256-bit key size, AES with a 192-bit key size, or two-key Triple-DES with an effective key size of 112-bit. Use the following values:
EncryptionTypes=RC4_256,AES192,3DES112
Notes
*This option is ignored if Encryption Level is set to 0 - Rejected.
*Consult your database administrator concerning the data encryption settings of your Oracle server.
*This connection option can affect performance.
Default
On the GUI tab: all check boxes are selected.
In the connection string: no encryption methods are specified. The driver sends a list of all of the encryption methods to the Oracle server.
