Solving Security Challenges with Oracle Advanced Security
1-12 Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
Oracle Advanced Security SSL can be used to secure communications between any
client and any server. You can configure SSL to provide authentication for the server
only, the client only, or both client and server. You can also configure SSL features in
combination with other authentication methods supported by Oracle Advanced
Security (database usernames and passwords, RADIUS, and Kerberos).
To support your PKI implementation, Oracle Advanced Security includes the
following features in addition to SSL:
■ Oracle wallets, where you can store PKI credentials
■ Oracle Wallet Manager, which you can use to manage your Oracle wallets
■ Certificate validation with certificate revocation lists (CRLs)
■ Hardware security module support
Entrust/PKI Oracle Advanced Security supports the public key infrastructure
provided by the Entrust/PKI software from Entrust Technologies, Inc.
Entrust-enabled Oracle Advanced Security lets Entrust users incorporate Entrust
single sign-on into their Oracle applications, and it lets Oracle users incorporate
Entrust-based single sign-on into Oracle applications. See Appendix F,
"Entrust-Enabled SSL Authentication" for more information about this feature.
