2.4 Data Privacy and Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning

Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning ensures that data is not disclosed during transmission by using public-key encryption available with SSL. In public-key encryption, the sender of a message encrypts the message with the public key of the recipient. Upon delivery, the recipient decrypts the message using the recipient's private key.

To exchange data securely between the directory integration and provisioning server and Oracle Internet Directory, you run both components in the SSL mode.
