In the z/OS 1.7 announcement letter there's an IBM statement of direction
concerning software tape encryption (crypto hardware assisted, of course, if
available on your system). I would read that statement very carefully.
(It's on page 1, so it's important.) It does have an availability date
listed: "2005."
Timothy, I just scanned the z/OS 1.7 announcement letter 205-167 (on the
IBM announcements site) and I can't find the reference you mention. I
searched for all references to "crypt". Can you point me to the right
place?
