Is it possible to use this configuration ((ICSF) on z890 with no coprocessors) to encrypt particular fields, SSN, credit card numbers, etc? For example, get the number from the Internet, or whereever, have the Cobol (ex) program call some funciton to encrypt it in memory, and then store the encrypted field in IMS, VSAM etc. Then have the program (cobol for example) read in the encrypted field, call some function to decrypt it for processing. Yes, I know that encrypting select fields has problems, but management is not willing to pay to encrypt everything.
