Subject: Need help about java encryption
Hello,
I need your urgent help about the following issue.
We have developed a client/server application; the client is developed
using java and connecting to a database server on AIX (DB2) using jdbc. We
need to secure the communication going between the client and server and to
make data going to/from client encrypted; however, all the solutions
offered ( like Java Cryptography) requires that we rebuild our application
and make it 3-tier application and build a java server as a middle tier.
These options will ruin all our direct jdbc calls from the client to the
DB2 server, and ruin all the code we have so far done. Is there is a way
out for this problem? Does java provide some way of low level encryption
under the jdbc layer?
Please help in this problem.
Thanks and best regards
