Ability to pull ACP tracking report using ICSF callable service. Adding report generation to ICSF ACP panel.

2 related requests as part of this RFE: 1. ACP tracking report(Across LPARs) generation/extraction using ICSF callable service, which can then be utilized by a batch job or any online (CICS/IMS) job/screen. 2. Adding report generation capability i...

Request new function: z/OS ICSF a CCA Rexx/CSFIQF API to display enabled ACPs via the ISPF ICSF panels for each coprocessor.

RFE -- Request new function: z/OS ICSF a CCA Rexx/CSFIQF API to display enabled ACPs via the ISPF ICSF panels for each Crypto co-processors. Need a method via (CCA Rexx - CSFIQF API ?) that we can use on ICSF, other than displaying & copying t...

Support for 4096-bit Diffie-Hellman Key Size

The maximum size for a Diffie-Hellman key exchange supported is currently 2048 bits. There are many applications using bigger key sizes and z/OS would not be able to communicate with them. This enhancement would allow 4096-bit and higher key sizes...

Allow backup/restore of "TOKEN' within TKDS

Need capability to backup/restore objects within an individual TOKEN.... Need to restore objects with original handles. IE sequence numbers have to be same so applications do not have to change code. Restoring TKDS is not an option as each TOKEN i...

Populate SMF 82 40 CMACZERO fingerprint for more key types

Having a single key fingerprint or checksum in the SMF data leads to collisions when trying to validate that the same key is not present in multiple environments. Having a second fingerprint in the SMF 82 40 records would help us to determine whet...

Availability of Cryptographic Services

When ICSF is started it will check the Master Key Verification Patterns(MKVP) in the header records of the CKDS and PKDS. When an MKVP is found then a check is made to see if that Master Key is found in the coprocessors. If it is found and it matc...

Option to ignore CRL expiry date in TR34 ICSF services

TR34 RKL ICSF services CSNDT34B and CSNDT34D uses CRL from CA for generating the TOKEN. One of the CA is sending a CRL valid for only one day, but confirmed that the EPP does not validate the CRL End date. Is it possible to provide an option to ig...

Isolate PCI traffic from non-PCI traffic on the crypto cards

One of our teams has to purchase hardware security module (HSM) to handle the encryption of the PCI traffic. If CSF could separate the PCI from the Non-PCI traffic, this could allow our team to use the hardware encryption process instead of buying...

enhance ICSF panel R to list out the ACPs the same way as the TKE workstation.

Hi there, Currently ICSF panel R only alphabetically lists out only the enabled ACPs in just one big list. ICSF manual alphabetically lists out all available ACPs but also in one big list. my RFE is to request for ICSF panel R enhanced to list out...
