DFSMSdss supports encryption for DUMPs. I believe you need the software encryption facility on your system and then a license to allow DSS to use it. Usage is explained in the z/OS V1R11.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration guide.
DFSMSdss can use the following types of host-based encryption to secure your data: * Triple-length Data Encryption Standard (TDES) clear keys * Secure TDES keys * 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) clear keys. If extra CPU cycles are available then host based encryption can be a good solution. If not, hardware encrypting tape drives are a good option if that is a concern. The hardware encrypting tape drives actually encrypt in real-time as the data is written to the tape. Just wanted to let you know the options out there in regards to DFSMSdss.
