10 The Sybase Data Provider : Data Encryption

Data Encryption
The Sybase data provider supports SSL encryption for Sybase database versions 12.5.2 and higher.
See “Data Encryption Across the Network” for more information.

NOTE: Setting the Authentication Method connection string option to Encrypt Password encrypts the user's password only as it is sent to the Sybase server at connect time. Note that the Sybase server must have password encryption enabled. The encryption uses the algorithm required by the Sybase server.
