>I have not worked with this yet. My 3rd party wants me to use HASH instead of Dataclas for encrypting a tape. (I think I understood that correctly???)
>So what is the difference between using a HASH KEY and a DATACLAS with EKM? >I am reading the books, but I still get lost in them. Lizette, maybe there's been some sort of misunderstanding.... HASH is a MODE of using a KEY to encrypt data on tape; the other one is LABEL. Usually you use HASH when are encrypting data using a PUBLIC certificate coming from a partner.... You can declare HASH mode in SMS dataclas or in DD JCL. Hope this helps. _________________________________________________________________________ Paolo Cacciari IBM Italia S.p.A.
