Oracle Advanced Security

Oracle Advanced Security is a security option for Oracle Database 11g. It is designed to deliver database and network encryption with robust authentication to help businesses address compliance and privacy requirements:

Transparent Data Encryption
Transparent Data Encryption provides an easy and effective protection of stored data by transparently encrypting data (using 3DES or AES with up to 256 bits) at the column or tablespace level.

Network encryption and data integrity
When information travels to and from the Database, Oracle Advanced Security Option provides a high level of security by offering support for the following encryption standards:

• RC4 (40, 56, 128, and 256 bits)
• DES (40 and 56 bits)
• 3DES (2 and 3 keys)
• AES (128, 192, and 256 bits)

Oracle Advanced Security also protects the integrity of information, making sure the message hasn’t been modified since it left the source by adding an encrypted digest to the message, using either SHA-1 or MD5.

Strong authentication
Passwords alone are often not secure enough, and are known for their high TCO. Combined with the weak security they provide, they should not be used on their own. Two-factor (or "strong") authentication is based on something the user has (a smart card, token, etc.) and something she knows (a PIN or passcode). Oracle Advanced Security supports the following industry-standard authentication methods:

• Kerberos
• RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
• Secure Sockets Layer (with digital certificates)
• PKI
