Encryption of false positive reports

About this task

By default the Report False Positive feature saves the data in an encrypted format that only AppScan® Support personnel can open.

To save the data in an encrypted format, accessible only to Support personnel:

  1. Right-click the issue, select 'Report False positive.
  2. In the Report False Positive dialog box, click Save File.
  3. When saving the file, choose Appscan encrypted files (. Encrypted) under the Save as type option, ensuring it's an encrypted format. Alternatively, change the .zip in the filename to .encrypted.

If you will be sending the attachment within your own organization, the recipient will not be able to decrypt it, so you need to save the file as decrypted.

To save the data in a decrypted format, to share within your own organization:

  1. Right-click the issue, select 'Report False positive.
  2. In the Report False Positive dialog box, click Save File.
  3. When saving the file, choose Zip Files (.zip) under the Save as type option, ensuring it's a decrypted format.
