My encryption project works all the way back to OS/390 V2R10. I am currently in the design stage for the key management add-on product. It can use ICSF when told to, but it prefers to use CPACF or software (single DES and triple DES for now). I am still working on the AES support. The draft documentation is on my website. Constructive comments to my email address are appreciated. Jeffrey D.
