I am beginning to think that the silence of major players is meaningful. I can report one horror story: pay close attention to your key manangment process. The whole process to include entry, change, and propagation to a recovery site. That whole sand box looks to be very fragile by design. And, without keys, the data is unrecoverable.
I'm really worried that there are a lot of worthless backups out there that won't be discovered until it is way too late. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel McLaughlin Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Encryption software? This topic is getting bounced around here and on the RACF-L as well, yet responses are scarce and sporadic. We in the hinterlands are looking for experiences with any of the major encrypting products to help in selecting one, without being hounded by vendors. Our site has mentioned TKLM and it looks like a nightmare, plus it doesn't cover all our media. We have FDR, so FDRCRYPT is a possibility. We have CA products, OpenTech products, and MegaCryption looks interesting. Bottom line...many of us are soliciting opinions from those who have run that gauntlet already. TIA...rave mode set to off.
