  4. OpenPGP Integration • Encrypt ZIP files using passphrase, x.509 digital certificates, and/or OpenPGP keys • Encrypt OpenPGP files using passphrase and/or OpenPGP keys • Sign ZIP files using x.509 digital certificates • Sign OpenPGP files with OpenPGP keys • Authenticate files signed with OpenPGP keys and x.509 digital certificates

  5. OpenPGP Integration • Keys stored in file based pgp key rings • Supports OpenPGP Contingency keys • Integrated with SecureZIP ISPF interface • New and modified commands • Native z/OS implementation, exploits hardware • CPACF high speed encryption and hashing • Not FIPS 140 Compliant in OpenPGP mode

  6. Levels of OpenPGP Function *OpenPGP function is incremental

  11. zIIP Specialty Engine Support • z Integrated Information Processor - zIIP • Initially for DB2 Workload, now sort, compression, anything that can be scheduled in an enclave SRB • Optional, chargeable IBM System z feature • Offloads work from general CPs • Using zIIP’s can save customers money • zIIPs do not affect the MSU’s (MIPS) • Are less expensive than general processors

  12. V14 Adds Support for zIIP • PKZIP and SecureZIP – All Editions • –ZIIP_RUNOPTS(Y|N) • Controls whether qualified processing may be scheduled to execute on an active zIIP • Using zIIP requires that PKZIP/SecureZIP be APF enabled, or activated through the PKWSVC. 

  13. What does zIIP Support mean? • Work is MOVED from the general processor to the zIIP • Doesn’t make it run faster • Doesn’t use less total CPU • Task processing time offloaded to enclave CPU • For faster processing with less CPU • Consider using Hardware Compression feature

  14. Command Variable Substitution • Allows for command customization • Permits use of template command sets • Four types of substitutions • Job related, e.g. Job name, Step name • System related, e.g. SMF id and LPAR id • Time/Date • User defined
