Support for ISO 16609
Support for ISO 16609 CBC Mode T-DES Message
Authentication (MAC) requirements ISO 16609 CBC Mode
T-DES MAC is accessible through ICSF function calls
made in the PCI-X Cryptographic Adapter segment 3
Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) code.
This is supported by z/OS and by z/VM for guest
exploitation.
Support for RSA keys up to 4096 bits
The RSA services in the CCA API are extended to sup-
port RSA keys with modulus lengths up to 4096 bits. The
services affected include key generation, RSA-based
key management, digital signatures, and other functions
related to these.
Refer to the ICSF Application Programmers Guide, SA22-
7522, for additional details.
Cryptographic enhancements to Crypto Express2
Dynamically add crypto to a logical partition
Today, users can preplan the addition of Crypto Express2
features to a logical partition (LP) by using the Crypto page
in the image profi le to defi ne the Cryptographic Candidate
List, Cryptographic Online List, and Usage and Control
Domain Indexes in advance of crypto hardware installation.
With the change to dynamically add crypto to a logical
partition, changes to image profi les, to support Crypto
Express2 features, are available without outage to the
logical partition. Users can also dynamically delete or
move Crypto Express2 features. Preplanning is no longer
required.
This enhancement is supported by z/OS, z/VM for guest
exploitation, z/VSE, and Linux on System z.
Secure Key AES
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National
Institute of Standards and Technology specifi cation for the
encryption of electronic data. It is expected to become the
accepted means of encrypting digital information, includ-
ing fi nancial, telecommunications, and government data.
AES is the symmetric algorithm of choice, instead of Data
Encryption Standard (DES) or Triple-DES, for the encryp-
tion and decryption of data. The AES encryption algorithm
will be supported with secure (encrypted) keys of 128,
192, and 256 bits. The secure key approach, similar to
what is supported today for DES and TDES, provides the
ability to keep the encryption keys protected at all times,
including the ability to import and export AES keys, using
RSA public key technology.
Support for AES encryption algorithm includes the master
key management functions required to load or generate
AES master keys, update those keys, and re-encipher key
tokens under a new master key.
Support for 13- thru 19-digit Personal Account Numbers
Credit card companies sometimes perform card security
code computations based on Personal Account Number
(PAN) data. Currently, ICSF callable services CSNBCSV
(VISA CVV Service Verify) and CSNBCSG (VISA CVV
Service Generate) are used to verify and to generate a
VISA Card Verifi cation Value (CVV) or a MasterCard Card
Verifi cation Code (CVC). The ICSF callable services cur-
rently support 13-, 16-, and 19-digit PAN data. To provide
additional fl exibility, new keywords PAN-14, PAN-15, PAN-
17, and PAN-18 are implemented in the rule array for both
CSNBCSG and CSNBCSV to indicate that the PAN data is
comprised of 14, 15, 17, or 18 PAN digits, respectively.
Support for 13- through 19-digit PANs is exclusive to
System z10 and is offered by z/OS and z/VM for guest
exploitation.
