Glossary
EDI projects require a wide variety of specialized knowledge. In our glossary, we provide answers to most of the terms you may encounter in your EDI project.
CRYPT - Extra security for communication and signature
Limited resources and concerns about administration costs are the main obstacles. i‑effect®, the data integration solution, can help eliminate these obstacles.
The i‑effect® *CRYPT module is an elegant solution integrated into your workflow for signing and encrypting sensitive business data directly on the IBM Power Systems for local storage and external distribution.
Advanced security with SFTP & FTPS
The i‑effect® *CRYPT module supports in conjunction with *FTP - both the SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and the FTPS (FTP over SSL) functionality. This provides more security for file transfer and confidential data stream. FTPS enables encryption over SSL by using additionally defined security extensions to the FTP protocol, whereas SFTP provides authentication and encryption using SSH. This way a secure transfer is established preventing passwords and sensitive data from being transmitted in plaintext form.
