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.
