Part 2: The 32-Bit/64-Bit Drivers : The Oracle Wire Protocol Driver : Connection Option Descriptions : Data Integrity Types
  
Data Integrity Types
Attribute
DataIntegrityTypes (DIT)
Purpose
Determines the method the driver uses to protect against attacks that intercept and modify data being transmitted between the client and server. You can enable data integrity protection without enabling encryption. See Encryption and Data Integrity for more information.
Valid Values
MD5 | SHA1 | SHA1,MD5
If set to MD5, the driver uses the Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm.
If set to SHA1, the driver uses the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1).
If multiple values are specified and Oracle Advanced Security data integrity is enabled using the Data Integrity Level option, the database server determines which algorithm is used based on how it is configured.
Notes
*This option has no effect if Data Integrity Level is set to 0 - Rejected.
*Consult your database administrator concerning the data integrity settings of your Oracle server.
*This connection option can affect performance.
Default
