Securing Network Channels Securing Network Channels is a way of transferring data that is resistant to overhearing and tampering. The network topology for SAP Fiori components is based on the topology used by SAP NetWeaver Gateway, SAP NetWeaver, and SAP HANA. To ensure confidentiality and integrity of data, we recommend encrypting all communication channels. The following table shows the communication channels used by the SAP Fiori apps, the protocol used for the connections, and the type of data transferred. Note DB related encryption method is supported but it is a separate activity and will not be described in this document. The scenario about the encryption methods between front-end and back-end are listed as below.
