---+ APPXIO Data Encryption _Encryption of APPXIO data is now an available option at the System, Database, Application, and File levels._ %TOC% ---++ How to encrypt a file If the file already exists in an unencrypted state, you should first export the data. To encrypt a file, you must first enter a passphrase in your system admin parameter record. Then, you must enter encryption keys in the file specification for the file that you wish to encrypt or define an FMS group with encryption keys and assign the FMS group to the file that you wish to encrypt. Then you can create the file or, if the file already exists, you can import the data that you previously exported. If you import, be sure to specify the replace option so that the old file will be scratched and recreated as an encrypted file. ---++ Sharing Encrypted Files Encrypted files are secure. If you copy them to another APPX system you will not be able to read them unless you use the same encryption keys that were used on the system that created the file and the same passphrase. ---++ Issues: 1 <div class="TML">Need to verify that the encrypted passphase and the encrypted keys are being correctly stored in the file header.</div> 1 <div class="TML">Default values can be corrupted in the encryption type field causing the engine to fail to encrypt the data.</div> ---++ Suggested Behavior: 1 If data is encrypted, a warning should be presented to the user prior to generating a new encryption key, or changing the System Parameter Pass Phrase. This could help prevent unintended data loss. 1 When importing data into an newly encrypted state, we should either delete the PORTDATA or warn the user that the PORTDATA is unencrypted. 1 When exported from an encrypted state to an unencrypted state, we should warn the user that the exported data is unencrypted. 1 System Parameter Passphrase contents should not be displayed. Use asterisk instead. ---++ Comments: _Read what other users have said about this page or add your own comments._ --- %COMMENT% -- AlKalter - 04 Apr 2008
