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

> Do we need ICSF to be running while implementing ATTLS ? I ran AT-TLS on a 2.1 RDT system *without* ICSF without a problem. And it was for more than just TN3270 traffic at TLS 1.2. I haven't tried at a higher z/OS level, but I don't think you need ICSF. Regards, Barbara

IMHO the problem is with using file utilities for datasets. File - understood as MS-DOS, unix or Windows file - it is just (ordered) set of bytes. No internal structure like blocks or records. File formats like XLS, TXT, DOC are interpretation of some applications, it is not visible Dataset -

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

I can’t say I’m 100% sure but highly suspect it does. We don’t have our crypto express cards configured yet so I know it’s not using them. On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 4:44 AM Jake Anderson wrote: > "We use Rockets’s Bluezone for our 3270 emulator and all 3270 traffic uses > TLS 1.2 via IBM’s
