# Adabas Security Features

This document describes the security facilities provided by Adabas and its subsystems.

> Adabas Role-based Security (ADARBA)

>   Adabas Role-based Security (ADARBA) provides facilities for controlling access to database resources; for example:

>   - Restricting the execution of an Adabas utility;

>   - Restricting access to data via Adabas commands.

> Adabas Password Security (ADASCR)

>   Adabas Password Security (ADASCR) provides facilities for controlling access and update to Adabas files; for example:

>   - Restricting user read and/or update requests on the basis of a whole file;

>   - Restricting user access to individual records within a file.

> Adabas Encryption for Linux

>   Adabas Encryption for Linux prevents the unauthorized analysis of Adabas data-at-rest. It provides functionality to encrypt ASSO and DATA container files as well as PLOG and backup copies.

> Ciphering

>   Ciphering prevents the unauthorized analysis of Adabas container files.

>   Notes:

>   1. Ciphering is no longer recommended for safe implementations.
>   2. Ciphering does not fulfill modern encryption standards and security regulations.
>   3. Ciphering is maintained for historic and maintenance reasons only.

>   Adabas Encryption for Linux is highly recommended as a state-of-the-art replacement.

> SSL Trusted Relationship for Natural

>   SSL Trusted Relationship for Natural enables Natural to make use of the Role Based Access Control without providing user credentials or using the Adabas user exit 21.
