Data in motion

In a security context, data in motion refers to data that flows between systems: for example, IP data that flows between a client and a server. Other forms of data in motion include SOAP messages and 3270 terminal sessions. You must consider how to protect the integrity and confidentiality of this data.

For information about other situations in which data must be protected, see How it works: Confidentiality and integrity in CICS.

Integrity and confidentiality for TCP/IP connections is provided by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. In addition, individual SOAP messages can be signed or encrypted by using XML signature and XML encryption standards. Intrusion Detection Services protect 3270 data streams.
