SQLPLUS Client Server connection encryption

HariDba-Oracle

Hi All,

We would like to enable encryption for client connection. We planned to do with sqlnet.ora.

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = REQUIRED

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER = (AES256)

SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_SERVER = REQUIRED

SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_SERVER = (SHA512)

Above changes in sqlnet.ora will serve the purpose of encryption. Also let us know the advantage and disadvantage enabling encryption. 

Thanks,

Hari
