Encrypting JDBC thin connections with SQL*Net



I saw an interesting post late last week on Oracle-l entitled "JDBC Thin and SQL*Net encryption" that talked about the posters need to be able to encrypt all Oracle network traffic as instructed by his auditors. He said he had some commercial JDBC based applications using the thin driver and he wanted to know if it's possible to enable the advanced security for them.

Richard posted a reply that said its possible to use JDBC thin and Oracle ASO using the oracle.net package. Richard gave some example code showing how to set the properties for the oracle.net package for oracle.net.encryption_client, oracle.net.encryption_types_client, oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client and oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client.
