Encryption mechanism used for storing source code in repos??

My customer inquired if there are any information on encryption mechanism used when storing source codes in Jazz repository.

As I could not find any information on "encryption mechanism when storing source code" could anyone confirm below questions?

- I am sure current implement of RTC does not use any encryption mechanism when storing source code in Jazz repository. Correct??

- If customer wants to implement such function, RFE will need to be raised. Correct?

Hi

Yes, you would need to raise an enhancement request if you wanted this handled by RTC.

There are some other options that might help. The underlying database should have security mechanisms to encrypt data - it is worth looking at that. Next, you could also encrypt the disk the data is stored on (for example, I have worked with a customer that used BitLocker - part of Windows Server - to encrypt the disk RTC and the database runs on).

It is worth asking more questions about the request. For example - who are they trying to conceal the source code from?

Thank you anthony for your answer

Hi Anthony,

We have a customer interested in this subject as well.  According to your answer, there would be no problem turning on DB encryption for SCC?  I think this would satisfy our customer.

Thanks,
Mike
