SAP Data Encryption

If you have users (clients) who collect and process data that is processed at sites outside your firewalls, you may want your data encrypted for security purposes. For example, a salesperson who processes sales orders offsite; A warehouse work who inventories lumber at an outdoor storage facility or workers who are connected but through the cloud.

RFgen supports the SAP Secured Network Communications protocol which secures the communication paths between various SAP system client server components. With SAP SNC, you receive application-level, end-to-end protection for data communicated between two SNC-protected components.

The SNC function is provided through the SAP Cryptographic Library which delivers encryption functions in SAP systems. For more information on the use of or implementation of the SAP Cryptographic Library, see SAP documentation.
