That used to be true, but a recent alleged breach have cast some shadows over that strategy. The reported breach may have been some malicious logging software on one of those intermediary servers.
And, yes, some of us are being 'asked' to encipher everything, inside and out. Once the auditors figure things out, I'd guess that full path enciphering (endpoint to endpoint) may be the minimum acceptable. Which presents other issues that may need more exotic malware countermeasures. But that is just speculation on my part. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.S.

Transmission outside the buildings is encrypted (ROT), if you need encryption inside as well (really? do you?), then you can use the same means. It should be much cheaper than anything on mainframe ;-) -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul. Senatorska 18 00-950 Warszawa www.brebank.pl Sd Rejonowy dla m. st.
