Hi,
What are my options for encrypting data from one Queue Manager to another. My Boss believes that there is something that comes as standard with V6 that can encrypt? I know there is SSL and you can create channel exits but is there anything else?
Help  |

The Websphere MQ Extended Security Edition has a robust set of encryption features built into it.
Regular WebSphere MQ has only SSL, for encrypting channel traffic.

If you want end to end encryption, rather than just channel data encryption, before you fall for the IBM/Tivoli TAMBI product (also sold bundled as Extended Security Edition), please take a good look at Primeur's Data Secure for WebSphere MQ (DSMQ). It's easier to configure than TAMBI, supports scripted central configuration, and provides a number of capabilities that TAMBI doesn't (e.g. compression, support for segmented messages, support for distlists).
Their website is www.primeur.com
DSMQ provides end to end encryption of data (from the point it leaves the application that does the MQPUT, to the point where the final MQGET is done by the receiving application). This is done without requiring any application changes.
I don't work for Primeur any longer, but I still think that its an excellent product for end to end MQ encryption. SSL has probably won the war on channel data protection, though DSMQ does offer consistent algorithms across all platforms and also can provide stronger encryption (though whether you *need* 256 bit AES is a arguable for most).
Cheers
Dave |
