Hello all, I have a question. When I generated my data encryption keys
under ICSF the panels didn't require an entry to designate whether they
were 3DES, DES or AES encryption keys. How does one know what kind of
key was generated? Or does it matter?
Do you mean KGUP ?
The length of the key depends on the LENGTH() parameter. However,
sometimes you provide key value (clear or encrypted) - in that case the
value provided implicitly sets key length.
AFAIR all the keys are DES keys, since AES (on mainframe) supports only
clear keys - encryption is done by CPACF or by ICSF software.
