Rob, no the key does not exist in the CKDS but is received as part of a request from a client browser in this string:
123456<PAN>nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn</PAN><KEY>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</KEY> The key tag shows the 16 hexadecimal digits of a single length DES key that must be used to encrypt the response. The browser randomly generates the DES key and includes it in the request so that the server (z/OS in this case) can use it to encrypt the response.
