Recommended Software Update

Micro Focus is announcing the release of

Product: Micro Focus SecureData Enterprise Simple API MacOSX
Version: 6.0
Languages: English

The following key new features are available with this version:

Safe Unicode FPE

  • Extended support for Unicode through a predefined Variable Length String (VLS) format

FPE2 for all formats

  • FPE2 and eFPE2 can be used for all format types and provides support for extended Latin and Japanese characters.

FPH for all formats

  • Support for FPH for all formats, extending beyond VLS.

Tweak Support for FPE

  • It is possible to specify tweak values when performing FPE protect and access operations, providing unique ciphertext output to identical protect operations.

Masking Support for FPE

  • Configurable portions of recovered plaintext can be masked with a generic character, such as an ‘x’.  As an example, this means a clear text credit card could be displayed with the first digits displayed as the letter x and the last 4 digits in the clear.

New Default Net-Empty Behavior

  • Plaintext to be protected and ciphertext to be accessed is deemed net-empty when it contains no protectable characters.  Previous versions of Simple API treated this as an error condition, forcing client code to handle it as a special case.

Configurable Network Timeout

  • Provides the ability to override the default network timeout of 10 seconds to a longer timeout
