Standard (56-bit DES using CBC mode) encryption is part of AR System.  There is 
no additional product needed for that level.  You will need to purchase either 
Performance or Premium Encryption to increase the level of security for the 
API.  You can see this on page 341 of the AR System 7.5.00 Configuring Guide:

Encrypt-Data-Encryption-Algorithm
An integer indicating the encryption algorithm of the data key. Use the 
following values.
Standard Security
! 1-56-bit DES using CBC mode (default)
Performance Security
! 2-128-bit RC4 key (default)
! 6-128-bit AES CBC key (FIPS noncompliant)
! 8-128-bit AES CBC key (FIPS compliant)
Premium Security
! 3-2048-bit RC4 key (default)
! 7-256-bit AES CBC key (FIPS noncompliant)
! 9-256-bit AES CBC key (FIPS compliant)
For more information, see the BMC Remedy Encryption Security Guide.

Encrypt-Public-Key-Algorithm

An integer indicating the encryption algorithm of the public key. Valid values 
are
! 4-512-bit RSA key (default for Standard Security)
! 5-1024-bit RSA key (default for Performance Security)
! 6-2048-bit RSA key (default for Premium Security)
For more information, see the BMC Remedy Encryption Security Guide.

Subject: Enabling BMC Remedy Encryption

**
Hi

I have created a java AREA plugin and  would like to encrypt user information 
passing between remedy server and plugin server. As well as between remedyweb 
interface and plugin server.

I understand that the BMC Remedy Encryption can provide me the facility. Since 
the BMC third party plugins integration pdf talks about the BMC Remedy premium 
, i assume there is a basic version available. Is this true? I have searched 
through my /reemedy/java folders but could not find any.

Am i right?


The "Remedy 7.1.00 Integrating with Plugins and third party.pdf" says

"To override the default Java API configuration, create the arsys_api.xml 
configuration file and make sure it is in the CLASSPATH environment variable or
the java command -classpath command-line parameter. See the sample 
configuration file, arsys_sample.xml, in the lib directory for descriptions, 
valid
values, and default values for the API configuration options"

but i dont see any the arsys_api.xml  or the arsys_sample.xml, file

Thanks in advance

Thanks and Regards
Sibi
