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:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Is this still a requirement? Please see other questions posted earlier.
Thank you for your request. We think this is possible for ECC. We don't think it is possible for RSA. We will have to evaluate this for future algorithms when they become available. When do you need this support to be delivered in MCLs?
Note that this is only practical for public-key algorithms where the diversified keys could be created very quickly, so that performance is acceptable when creating a diversified key for each transaction. For example, if doing this for RSA meant that diversifying a key took the same amount of time as generating a new RSA key pair, it would not be practical to use in performance-sensitive transactions. (I believe it is likely to be much more practical for ECC than for RSA, and we don't know yet for the future quantum-resistant public key algorithms - however, more thought and analysis is needed.)
