You can use the Secure Network Communication (SNC) protocol to secure communications between SAP and an external system. The SNC protocol is implemented by using a third-party security product.
In Application Integration, the SNC protocol is implemented by using the SAP Cryptographic Library. The SAP Cryptographic Library is a security product from SAP that is used to implement security features through SNC.
The installation package consists of the following files:
libsapcrypto.so
. The library file that is used for the run-time implementation of SNC on Linux-based systems.
sapcrypto.dll
. The library file that is used for the run-time implementation of SNC on Windows-based systems.
sapgenpse.exe
. The configuration tool that is used to generate the security certificates for the SAP server and the machine on which the Secure Agent is installed.
