title: How to secure Oracle connection for a .Net/C# Application?
body: <p>We have a .Net/C# application connected to Oracle 18C XE.</p>
  <p>The application connects to Oracle using the following code :</p>
  <pre><code>    dim ConnectionString as string =  &quot;Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=&quot; _
                                      &amp; &quot;(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=&quot;&amp; Some IP Adress &amp; &quot;)(PORT=1521)))&quot; _
                                      &amp; &quot;(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=XE)));&quot; _
                                      &amp; &quot;User Id=&quot; &amp; Username &amp; &quot;;Password=&quot; &amp; Password &amp; &quot;;&quot;
                                      
      dim Connection as new Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleConnection(ConnectionString)
      
      Connection.Open()
  </code></pre>
  <p>Can anyone please tell how to encrypt this connection between the application and the server.</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
