If you have ever considered encrypting data on your IBM i, you should know that the rules of the game have just changed dramatically.
It used to be that adding field level encryption to your DB2/400 database involved application program changes, database changes, and long, involved software projects. But a new feature in the DB2/400 database means that encryption can be done at the database level, automatically, and usually without any application programming changes at all.
In this session John will explain the new automatic encryption features in V7R1 and show you how they can be used to encrypt data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and more.
