Data encryption security options

Data encryption security options provide added security for the security-sensitive data that an application requests from the system. However, the encryption options can also have a negative impact on performance.

About this task

The following encryption options have a larger performance cost than other options:
  • Encrypted user ID and encrypted security-sensitive data
  • Encrypted user ID, encrypted password, and encrypted security-sensitive data

Recommendation: To maximize performance of requester systems, use the minimum level of security that is required by the sensitivity of the data.
