The
implementation of the installed encryption technology depends on the
environment that you work in. If you work in a SAS enterprise intelligence
infrastructure, encryption might be transparent to you because it
has already been configured into your site's overall security plan.
After the encryption technology has been installed, the site system
administrator configures the encryption method (level of encryption)
to be used in all client/server data exchanges. All enterprise activity
uses the chosen level of encryption, by default. For an example, see
SAS/SECURE for the IOM Bridge: Examples .If you work in a SAS
session on a client computer that exchanges data with a SAS server,
you specify SAS system options that implement encryption for the duration
of the SAS session. If you connect a
SAS/CONNECT client to
a spawner, you need to specify encryption options in the spawner start-up
command. For details about SAS system options, see
SAS System Options for Encryption. For examples,
see
