I've just been asked how secure is data moving between Windows and Unix. For example, a data step reads a dataset stired on the PC and the destination is a permanent dataset on the Unix box. Would it be possible to intercept the data as it moves between the two platforms? e.g. /* my Unix library */ libname myunix '/unixbox/projects/live_data' server=xyzsrv1; /* Read some pc data and store it in Unixland */ data myunix.cars; set sashelp.cars; where make="BMW"; run; How secure is the data and if the answer is not very, what can we do to make it more so?
