encryption_key

Specifies the public RSA encryption key in hexadecimal.

Value

HEX string

DEFAULT: A sample key is defined in $NSSSVRSDK/config/example_session.xml for testing purposes only. For a deployed applications, the sample must be replaced.

How to set

In the application’s session.xml, in the <logging> section of <sessionparameters>.

The key has no formatting. There is no indentation or forced line breaks. See the Sample session.xml file.

Usage

When applications set Security levels to encrypt confidential data, the encryption key must already exist in the session.xml.

When the system detects an encryption key in the session.xml, it automatically adds the .enc file extension to call log files. This is done even if the application never requests an encryption event.

Nuance uses your public key to encrypt symmetric keys that are automatically generated.
