Description

Resolution:
Security facilities provided in TIBCO products are at the communication level and are provided by TIBCO Rendezvous Data Security.  This product is an add-on to TIBCO Rendezvous, which can encrypt messages for secure transmission using X.509 security standards and digital certificates. TIBCO RV DS v2.1 is compatible with RV 6 API.

TIBCO RV DS is not directly supported under Adapter SDK API, there is no plan to provide support of RVDS 2 in SDK. If data security for an adapter on the network is required, adapter developers should consider using TIBCO Enterprise for JMS and implement the adapter to use SSL.

As an alternative, developers requiring the use of TIBCO Rendezvous can consider using the transformation plug-in. Details see Transformation Plugin in SDK documentation.

For SDK 4, encryption and decryption can be applied to the serialized data (i.e. MTree) before and after transmission.  Another option is to use the Opaque data type in MInstance, so the data is transmitted in binary. You can then retrieve the data with the correct data type.
