Teradata Database provides the following features to enhance data protection:
By default, the logon string is encrypted to maintain the confidentiality of the username
and password employed to log on to Teradata Database.
Optional data encryption of messages maintains confidentiality of the data transmitted
to and from Teradata Database.
Automatic integrity checking insures that the data is not corrupted during the encryption/transmission/decryption
cycle.
Optional BAR and DSA encryption provides confidentiality of data backups between the
BAR server and the storage device.
Optional SSL/TLS protection for systems using LDAP authentication with simple binding,
including:
Encryption of the LDAP authentication sequence between Teradata Database and the directory
server.
Advanced TLS protection, which requires that the database authenticate itself to the
directory or that the database and directory mutually authenticate.
Optional SASL protection for systems using LDAP authentication with Digest-MD5 binding:
Protection of the LDAP authentication token exchange sequence between Teradata Database
and the directory server.
