Re: "PGP is good encryption but it is not in use very much on IBM mainframes because the encryption can not be offloaded to crypto hardware ..."
I'm confused since the OpenPGP doc mentions hardware encryption in several places. I recently had a project to get OpenPGP working on z/os 1.13. I am using a public/private key pair generated with ICSF in the PKDS. We have 2 CEX2 cards. I '-prepared' my key pair with OpenPGP. During encryption I specify '-provider com.ibm.crypto.hdwrCCA.provider.IBMJCECCA.' I then send PGP RSA encrypted data offsite. Am I not offloading processing to crypto hardware (CEX2) during encryption? -Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
