Encryption protects files and other project information from being read by unauthorized parties over unsecured network lines, such as the Internet. For TCP/IP connections, you can set a minimum level of encryption for a server configuration for IP addresses that access that server configuration. You can set different encryption levels for an IP address, ranges of IP addresses, or all IP addresses.
Clients can set the encryption level on a per-workstation basis. Users must use at least the minimum level of encryption set for underlying server configuration.
