What Data Is Encrypted?

When two CA DLP machines transfer data, the preliminary handshaking between them is not encrypted. It is only the communication of the instance of the Java RMI service that is encrypted. In practical terms, this means that any potentially sensitive data is encrypted.

In terms of its cryptographic boundary, CA DLP is self-contained. It has no dependency on an external Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
