Difference between revisions of "Sharing Encryption Keys"

Revision as of 14:10, 18 May 2010

Depending on the method you need to share information, multiple keys will be required.

• If you wish to simply send information (your instance is known as the “sending instance”) to another instance (this instance is known as the “receiving instance”), then the receiving instance will generate an encryption key that you store in your instance. This key is used to encrypt the information that you send. This ensures that information you send can only be decrypted by the receiving instance.
• If you wish to receive information as well as send information, then you need to generate an encryption key in your instance that will be stored in the other instance's UTA. This ensures that the information you receive can only be decrypted by your instance.
