Thank you for your response.
I tried that option before for Sybase Central and encountered the following error
Could not connect to the server.
JZ0LA: Failed to instantiate Cipher object. Transformation RSA/NONE/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding is not implemented by any of the loaded JCE providers.
null

My Sybase Central Version is ==> Sybase Central Adaptive Server Enterprise Plug-in Utility/15.5/EBF 17785 ESD#1/S/1.6.0/asear155/Wed May 5 08:00:01 PDT 2010
I also found the option for Toad - similar to DBArtisan there is an option to encrypt connections. I am currently reviewing the requirements for Perl and Python. Based on your response it seems I might have to run SDK 15.7 ESD#6 or higher to take advantage of the connection option for encryption?
