Methods for Using and Testing Encryption in Transit

Our working model will not be tested from the main() method of OracleJavaSecure; rather, we are going to demonstrate how we come in as a separate application and use the structures of our Application Security package, app_sec_pkg. We are going to add two more methods to the OracleJavaSecure class: one just for testing, resetKeys(); and another to prepare the client to encrypt data for updates / inserts to Oracle database, makeDESKey().

We want the ability to do data updates from our client application with a minimum of effort. The least effort requires these steps:

  1. Generate RSA keys on client and pass public key to Oracle.
  2. Generate DES secret password key on Oracle database, encrypt the artifacts ...
