Process encryption using an AES 256 key with parameter FF1 on CPACF

Hello,

Encryption using FF1 parameter (API ICSF CSNBFFXE / CSNBFFXD) is today processed on crypto cards

On crypto cards, as the CP cache is not shared with the crypto card, the elaps time increased a lot (too much) if we want to encrypt data

When we encrypt without this FF1 parameter, the encryption is done using the CPACF and run faster

Would it be possible to execute encryption with FF1 parameter on CPACF as well ?

Thanks,

Christophe
