Specifying the encryption level

Encryption support for Windows CE and Win32 platforms is only available with the Microsoft High Encryption Pack available from Microsoft. The Microsoft High Encryption Pack must be installed to use encryption between Windows CE/Pocket PC clients or Win32 platform clients and the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server. Encryption support on Palm OS requires Palm OS 3.3 or later.

None
No encryption will be used during data transfer.

Limited: 56-bit Data Encryption Standard
All data transfers will be encrypted using a 56-bit key. This provides basic security with a small performance penalty.

Strong: 128-bit Data Encryption Standard
All data transfers will be encrypted using a 128-bit key. This provides enhanced security with a larger performance penalty than Limited encryption.
