I believe AT-TLS generally utilizes ICSF which in turn may utilize your crypto hardware.

ICF stands for Integrated Coupling Facility and has nothing to do with networking. I think you mean ICSF which is cryptography software, which can exploit crypto hardware, including CPACF and CryptoExpress cards. Indeed, ICSF (and GSKSRVR) and offload some functions of SSL, TLS, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
