IBM Z Hardware and Operating Systems Ideas Portal


This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Add zkey / paes support for the ZFS filesystem encryption

Canonical/Ubuntu is exploring using ZFS native encryption (without LUKS) when deploying on the ZFS Linux filesystem. ZFS is already available on Ubuntu Server for s390x. Currently with LUKS on s390x installers default to using zkey/paes if availab...

Heart beat for crypto in non-secure data centers

This requirement is for machines that exist in non-secure data centers.This is a request for a way to shut down the crypto card under conditions when a heartbeat from the customer ceases – or maybe allow admin. functions but nothing else at that p...

Diversified Asymmetric keys

Would like to create diversified asymmetric keys based on a "master/seed" assymmetric key pair.Similar to what we can currently do with diversified symmetric keys. Would like this primarily for ECC.However RSA probably should also be include...And...

Support for Diffie-Hellman in the crypto coprocessor cards (CEXnC)

We call in our CICS applications external webservices and external http requests, which are hosted at external Partners, means there is a http conversation between CICS and an external Partner, in which CICS has the role Client. For security reaso...

Calculation of ECC public key from private key

An ECC private key in the clear is derived by some function and will be used later for signatures. The corresponding ECC public key can be calculated from the private key.This function is probably available in the Crypto Express 5 cards of IBM, bu...

Use of crypto in DR machines in non-secure data centers

Customer has DR machines at a service provider that are not in use, but are loaded with master keys so they are immediately available. Wants to know how to prevent the service provider from using the cards in those machines, with their keys. Can n...

EKMF role-based access control

EKMF currently has role-based access control, but it does not extend to the web-based DKMS browser. We would like it to be used there as well.

Dynamic CVV

Similar to current CVV support but with another parameter to form the input data (service code).Workaround exists today where AP combines input parms to send to CVV function.

UDX should be encrypted

The Seg3 file with UDX should be encrypted.

Key provisioning with AIX encrypting file-system

Integration with IBM or other PKI for key provisioning (not for main-path encryption, only key provisioning).
