How to encrypt data in ABAP?
hello gurus,
i am wondering how to encrypt data output in ABAP?
for example, we want to build a abap report which will export some data to third party software, we want to secure the data file, how to do that?
is there somekind of encrypt functionality available?
best regards.

Hi,
Given below solution is if the file transfer is not realtime.
Since the data is going to the third party software, if you use the ABAP given encryption then at the other end it will be difficult to decrypt it.
Rather I would suggest download the file and use some third party encryption tool to encrypt it and decrypt it with the same tool at the other end and upload it to the third party software.
If you do not want to use third party encryption tool you can build your own simple logic too, if you have time.
if it is realtime then,
you have to build your own logic in ABAP and use the same logic to decrypt it at the other end.
or you can also check whether any third party encryption software available which is integerated with SAP
or another crude way is to call that software from ABAP once the report is stored in a file and then transfer the encrypted file and at the other end use the same software.
Hope this helps !!
Thanks and Regards,
Mahesh.
