Queue-based security

Queue-based security is handled internally by MQe and does not require any specific action by the initiator or recipient of the message. Messages are assumed to have been encrypted by the application when they are passed to MQe. MQe delivers the messages to a target queue, from which they are removed by an application.

MQe protects the messages on receipt and flows them over secure channels; they are also held protected on any intermediate queues and on the destination queue. This protection is independent of whether the target queue is owned by a local or a remote queue manager.

Using queue-based security does not require any application programming, but the following topic (Configuring queue-based security) describes how to add security attributes to a queue. As long as configurations have been set up properly, messages are automatically protected during transmission.
