The business goal? The description I've received is "a company wide
committee is setting the requirements - then telling the data center
they have to find answers." So I can't state a real business goal. SOX
etc. is probably driving this, whether it should be or not. It is
financial data. I am doing my best to refrain from editorializing about
committees and such.
Business goal sounds too general and too 'political' for me.
Let's go simpler: *what data* do you want to encrypt ?
Your target is not VSAM file (as structure of CIs, index set, CAs, etc.)
itself.
It contains records, records contain fields, probably only some of them
need to be encrypted. For example your record contain customer id (*)
and custmer PIN (for VISA card). Id need not to be encrypted, while PIN
have to be.
(*) It should be rather card no, but it's only example.
