The Oracle docs on JDBC were not specific enough. Can anyone help with these questions?


  1. What security is inherent or available in Oracle7 JDBC drivers (both JDBC Thin and JDBC OCI) communicating with an Oracle7 server? For example, are the connect/logon and data streams across the network encrypted?

2)If so, what kind in each JDBC configuration, e.g., DES 40-bit, RSA, Kerberos, etc.?

3) Do any of these encryption solutions depend on a client configuration file with a "seed" string? How susceptible is this seed to hacking?



Thanks in advance.
