Lately there are the IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services. IBM Cloud HPCS supports a "Cloud TKE," and the smart cards it uses are cross-compatible with the IBM TKE Workstation for IBM Crypto Express. If you're able to use any of the APIs IBM Cloud HPCS supports from your zPDT environment (remotely), then you should be all set. But that'll likely be application-specific, not for generalized local ICSF. I don't know if it would be technically feasible for zPDT (or the IBM Z Development & Test Environment) to use IBM Cloud HPCS and expose it to z/OS (and other operating systems) as if it were local IBM Crypto Express domains in EP11 mode. I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask (in the official ways) if you're interested. - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
