Required Commands
Except in the OS/400 environment, the Key_Storage_Initialization verb requires the
Compute Verification Pattern command (offset X'001D') to be enabled in the
hardware. In the OS/400 environment, no commands are issued to the
Coprocessor and therefore command authorization does not apply.
