Encryption

When sending files, you can encrypt the file contents.

To encrypt a Send file, specify Cipher Key for the Send file on the host on the sending side. To decrypt the file, specify the same cipher key for the Send file on the host on the receiving side.

 

Configure a cipher key in the Send Management Information and in the Receive Management Information.

Encryption Scheme

The following two types of encryption schemes are available:

  • HULFT Encryption Scheme

  • Encryption scheme by incorporating encryption exit routine

 

The following encryption exit routine is available:

  • AES

    If you install HULFT10 Cipher Option (AES), you can use Forced Strong Key mode, which maintains encryption strength.

    For details, refer to the following:

    HULFT10 for Windows Administration Manual : Encryption

    HULFT10 for Linux/AIX Administration Manual : Encryption

    HULFT10 for IBMi Administration Manual : Encryption

    HULFT10 for zOS Administration Manual : Encryption

 

Configure an encryption scheme in Encryption Scheme in the System Environment Settings.

To specify whether to use Forced Strong Key mode, set Forced Strong Key mode in the System Environment Settings.
