Yes. At the moment, it's not aware of the crypto cards, so it's quite
expensive in terms of CPU to do it on the Z processor, but it does work.
Do you know, which library is used for encryption?
If Bacula on Z uses openssl, it would be very easy to exploit all
cryptographic hardware support (SHA, DES, AES, RSA etc.) of System z
platform. If you need more information about hardware crypto support and
how you could exploit it, please feel free to contact me. I can provide
you programming examples, how to use crypto hardware support via openssl
as well as using libica directly.
