System SSL (aka TLS) will work without ICSF being active and without CEX cards being available. You may not like the performance and some functions (i.e. specifically ECC) may not work. Elliptic Curve (ECC) requires that CEX cards are available and ICSF is active, to drive those operations to

3270 with SSL/TLS is implemented in System SSL - if you really need to know more I'd read up on that. Another PAGENT policy function IPSEC tunnels does have the option for ZIIP assist so if you're running 3270 or other traffic within tunnels you may be using ZIIP. Mike Wawiorko This e-mail

Michael, It's not so easy. You use encrypted communication. That's what you know. However you don't know what hardware is used for enciphering/deciphering data. I'm rather sure that it is NOT CryptoExpress card (let's omit handshaking). Note, CPACF is not CryptoExpress. You can have CPACF and
