Describing the doc as 'murky' is being too kind, IMHO. I would sometimes use the phrase: "just plain wrong". I was fortunate in that the business partner and IBM set it up originally. At least I had a running system to study.
Key management was never an issue in our shop as we are old hands at that. There are four people involved in our process, and each have steps to perform to accomplish the mission. Getting the hardware and software to work not being 100% sure of what I was doing was, ah, interesting. But you touch on a very interesting point: key management is 'the' issue in a cryptographic solution IMHO. That is, the encryption and decryption is trivial in perspective. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Gould Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 2:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ICSF for Dummies? Hal, At least when I did it the other issue (to me) was there were some sysplex issues that were not clear. Like I said its been a while, but IIRC the manuals were less than clear and there were also DR issues that were at best murky due to doc. There were some issues that (to me) that were a nightmare i.e. who manages the key .
