Brian,

Our CopyCrypt product does not encrypt at the field level but we can
definitely be very selective on tape files that need to be encrypted.  We
support IBM co-processors and ICSF so the keys are secured.  This product
can also use passwords (clear key) to encrypt tape files.  A free utility
can be used to decrypt the file to disk or tape for B2B applications.

We also support disk to tape encryption.  Visit our web site for more
information:  www.opentechsystems.com .

Subject: File encryption

Hi folks

To meet certain credit-card industry governing body requirements, I've been
told we have to encrypt credit card numbers in any file that is permanently
stored on disk or tape.

It doesn't have to be the whole file (and I've argued that would be wasteful
anyway), but the fields holding card numbers.

Does anyone know of any kind of middleware or perhaps exit-driven software
or something that can sit in between our (home-grown) batch and CICS
applications and encrypt/decrypt, preferably in a 'just in time' manner?  

I've only managed so far to find references to IBM's "Encryption Facility"
which doesn't look quite like what I'm after, and something called
MegaCryption which is marketed here in Europe by a reseller (Software Europe
Ltd)

Thanks in advance

Brian
