Which SAP HANA features are secured by certificates in the SAP HANA certificate store?

The integration of certificates within the SAP HANA certificate store specifically safeguards client-server communication over JDBC. This security mechanism ensures that data exchanged between the client and the SAP HANA server is encrypted and secure from potential interception or unauthorized access. Using certificates for this purpose establishes a secure channel by validating the identities of both the client and server, thus safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of the data during transit.

As for the other features mentioned, while they may have their security measures, they do not rely on the certificate store in the same capacity. Database transactions typically utilize other forms of security, such as user authentication and authorization. Application Layer Security often implements various security practices that might not specifically involve certificates for communication security, and data archiving focuses on the storage aspect rather than transmission security. Therefore, the protection of client-server communication over JDBC by certificates is crucial for establishing a secure connection in SAP HANA environments.
